  1. On RAI, I obviously couldn't understand a word, but: Michael Matthews had his interview before the start, and they were translating as he was speaking. His last words were something along the lines of "and hopefully I will be standing on the top step at the end of the day" The Italians couldn't contain their surprise, you could hear them snicker at the thought of Matthews thinking he has a chance. (I don't know Italian, but you could 'hear' their tone of voice.) He came very, VERY close!
  2. Poggio incoming, don't blink...
  3. 71km to go. Less than an hour until we get to the Cipressa...
  4. 110km to go. Those on DSTV can follow on RAI, channel 430

  6. So, if Pog wants to win this year, surely UAE will have to throw everything at the likes of MvdP on the Cipressa. I don't think Pog will solo attack from there, but they need to give him a fighting chance by blowing the field apart long before the Poggio.
  7. I have to say, two names shout the loudest on this list. Tadej, based on his form at Strade. And MvdP. The two of them will hammer it up the Poggio and my feeling is whichever one crests the top without the other one will take it. [Or I am completely wrong and Biniam Girmay wins it from a big bunch sprint...]
  8. I have discussed it with both parties on my side. -The entrant successfully submitted his qualifying time on the Comrades website, it was accepted. -The person making the claim admitted their error. As you were
  9. My bad... I might need glasses. Trending towards being fake news then the non-qualifier question. Thanks for the inputs gents.
  10. If I was their legal eagle, I would argue that they don't claim it to be a qualifier anywhere in that post. Very cleverly worded...
  11. Other Friend of mine at work(Who has completed multiple IMSA's) mentioned that it fails on two criteria: -Doesn't meet the minimum elevation gain requirement -Start/Finish is not with the required distance from each other(Something like 400m maximum). This specifically put in place to prevent a point-to-point marathon. I tried to verify by looking at whatever source I can find listing "Comrades Qualifying Races" and the race is not listed on a single one of those websites... Thus my concern
  12. Friend of mine ran a 3h06 at N4 Trac Elands marathon. How do I break it to him that his efforts are in vain as it isn't recognised as a Comrades qualifying race
