Really? Did you know what was going on at all? Let me try and assit you? The sudden stop the first time was because a tandem(with a nervous stroker ) hit a speed wobble (caused by the stroker looking around) and went down. The next slow down was at the railway where there were people lying next to the road and the marshals tell you to slow down. Lots of people in a big bunch will try and get to the front 1/3 of the bunch not the front? Did you not know that? I did not feel unsafe in that bunch, well controlled generally except for some littering.....

Really? Is it not because you are not strong enough? The guys who rode away from you were sitting in the wind in the front row and still dropped you?

You must have a special gift to judge speed that accurately. Have you ever riden a bike? Unless cars from the front were flashing them I would not assume that it was unsafe. Bike can take a gap 400x quicker and safer than a car.

From what I saw, I fully agree. On the wind some guys were being pushed over the line. The marchal then warn the traffic and also gave ample warning when there was a truck Comming from the front. Everyone would then do the best to get left again and the wind would do its bit again. Very well done considering the conditions.

I was also in A and there was a Think Bike Marchal next to us the whole time. I could also see one with the A group in front of us. You sure you were not on your own?

Stil an uncool way to do things.

Why so cryptic? No price, no real name ? Do you want to profit from it? And this thread is NOT classified? Looks like a scam to me. How do we know you really have the entry.

I forgot that....thanks for bringing me back on track

Guys why attack the poster, clearly Dragons are not known for assisting with warranty claims. Some or let's say a few have had some service from them but a lot have had no service or difficulty with them.

Why do you guys attack the people who said that they had issues with Dragons. They ate posting here because Dragons did not assist them.

It is not just if you hit the car.... Think about this, you and a friend come from the one side riding behind each other, from the other side is 2 runners and a few cyclist....now that car in the way is obstructing their view from both sides..... As both sides change lanes....hmmm...interesting? I am sure you will say that all parties should slow down to a crawl, just so this lazy cop can do his work ?

So you saying it is ok for the Cops to break to rules? Do they also fine those pedestrians to walk when they are not suppose to? Hmmm let me think...nope....

Go with Sram....

Read some replies here and you will see that those used it was almost cause carnage...the people on the moan day in and day out about followintg rules/ road rules etc take pics of riders not doing so and now all of a sudden it is ok?

yes, rules should mention that you can ask..... already there are conflicting stories here, some say on the fastest 5 teams, others say that you can ask? Should it not be spelled out in the rules?

Like you often say, if you dont like the thread don't read it.

Where does it state that? BTW how can going faster make you safer?

Like I said, how do you decide who can do it and who not?

But it is not in the rules....so how does a new team know about this?

then the rules should state that there can be an exception.....why hide this from othere teams who might also want to use this method?

That is what I say, but apparently it you are a TOP team you get to choose which rules you want to listen to.

Why? Who says that they TOP teams can do it? It is not something you / they do often? What makes them a better bag catcher than the next person? Just because they ride faster for longer does not mean that they can catch a bag.
