Flanders galore! Nice to see we produce such great athletes in a 5million people region And they all love SA hence Frederik's win and Marino in the full IM PE.
Ended up doing 3:00:15. Crazy to see that the last group riding Sub3's in front of us was E (2finishers in F-bunch). So that means I passed by quite a bit of F-G-H-I-J-K on the road
Reason I was asking how they set the group start time is because I did 3:00:05 on my bike computer Started from group L for an almost entire solo ride to the finish. Came 2nd in my group so there's one L rider with a guaranteed sub3. It felt strange feeling so lonely amongst enormous bunches of riders The guy who took the group win didn't play it very nice though, I pulled him all the way up Chaps screaming 'left' and 'passing' and setting the pace etc. just to see him sprint away 50m from me on Suikerbossie & finding a quick tandem on the long downhill... Together both of us would have a guaranteed sub-3. I guess he wanted the group win ... Still I don't need to say I was happy doing it in 3h finding my way through hundreds and hundreds of people during my Argus TT.
I think that's weird. This means that if a guy rolls 30sec behind me over the mats at start and he comes 10th in the bunch sprint at the finishline he still wins the group.... Doesn't make sense.
You were with the top guys of the E-bunch? I came from L-group and I think I just made it or just missed it (how do they take your group exact start time?! When the first rider crosses the mats?) Came 2nd in my group. When does results usually come in?
Must be fake, that blue ruins the whole landscape... If you think this is nice, go to Holland for a ride on your bike!! Simple, there's cyclepaths next to ALL roads.
