I get you. And I can see where you are coming from. And a few counter points: - Just because person A robbed B doesn't mean it's ok for C to rob D - You are basically saying they can't lift their seeding on their own, and they need help from stronger guys. Which means they shouldn't seed up - Guys can still sit in the bunch and not work - And follow the conclusion if many of the bunch sticks, and B and C and D ride same time. Now the seeding index is concentrated, so not sure how you can say the seeding is not impacted? - Not trying to be the old guy, but I think when I started it took me a year to move up from Z to the seeding I am at now - Throws actual category guys' funride out, because now competing people that's too strong

So why not ride for time in your actual seeded start group 🫣 Doesn't this mess up the seeding system?

Great, thanks for answering. All the best with your goals!

Hi Kelson! Strong ride again well done! Can I ask a curious question? Why are you riding Cat 3 when everyone knows you are too strong for that Cat?

Mamil! Were you the one I asked about the 2 bottles extra behind the saddle? Coming from obs side? Well done on a long ride!

Nice report, DnD But what kit did you wear?! We must have "brushed" shoulders. Was actually just to the left of the incident on chappies. I was in black assos bib and black ciovita top with black helmet and stupid white framed glasses. Giant black/blue/white bike.

Nice Diesel, will see you there, maybe between everyone ????

Nice report, Sku. Out of interest, what was your index for the ride?

Perfect conditions. Legs getting there slowly. I can only get racing fit with racing. Maybe too lazy in training ???? And the others? Rode out a bit on Adderley and weather was getting hot and felt for the guys out for long. Hope it was ok?

So far I can see: $ 6:00 # 6:05 % 6:10 B 6:17 C 6:19 D 6:21 K 6:33 U 6:49

Yip, was thinking the same. 100 guys in A group trying to race through D'Urbanvale ????

Can't really expect your seeding to improve in a relatively easy race? Hope you still get your $ seeding in the CTCT though ???? 99er would help much more I think!

Nice ????

I'm sure it's just provisional, but they have used the following for the Paarl race as from the Seeding tab on the Pedal Power website: Winning time adjusted: 2:07:09 (actual 2:19:12) Beta: 0.9 Edit: wrong actual winning time initially

Relatively flat and easy race, so don't expect too much help from the Beta. And neither from winner's time adjustment I think.

And Chris I think

Did us three finish together [emoji1690]

Mmm what colour jersey were you wearing?

Some ride by @VCampenaerts to take the @UCI_cycling Hour Record. Wondering what power Victor will have ridden for it? You may be surprised! Altitude really does hit you hard. The air density inside the velodrome today was 0.949kg/m^3, so we're looking at ~340w! #Victor4VictorY https://t.co/jdafT679W2

Yeah that 2018 west coast's seeding is completely out of whack! But i am not complaining. Will keep my a for years without doing any rides [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

What a stupid place to park a car! I went wide also but managed to stop half in his bike and half against the car.
