I see a certain sloth 🦥 averaged over 5w/kg over the full route. ☠️

Dont think this was ever the plan.

couldnt they find Matt a better partner? 👀

keep eye out for virtual tour...

So date is confirmed?

Sounds overly complicated to prevent something that shouldn't be happening in the first place 😕

can you even call that skinny?

Tried it... still s*** 😂 Im keen to see that photo finish of the ladies race anyone!? Look waaay to close to call from Geralds commentary box...

this guy took out 2 okes mid bunch btw...

Was his ankle and that turn around time from injury was spectacular... What a performance against some serious big hitters.

Scored some deals on nutrition at expo... Cant wait to try new stuff on race day tomorrow 😝 Also race pack gives keeping me fueled whilst in traffic from the stadium

sounds like they listening to our call for things that we could actually use or consume, not DC level goodie bags but its a positive

so whos first to feedback on goodie bags... 👀

lol

If it means cramming 400 riders into a bunch because they need the road cleared for 42km ride... then in my mind thats a massive compremise on rider safety and the 42 should be reconsidered. Either they push the CoCT (who the CT Trust works hand in hand with) to get longer road use on the day or look for alternate day/route. I really hope im wrong but I cannot see this ending well in groups @ , & and A. 4 and 3min gaps are way to short for that bunch size.

sounds like the 42km is a burden to the overall event more than anything...

300 plus in any group is absolutely nuts!!! Checked out that @ and & list, there are some proper (2:40) and some sub3 hopefuls okes in there. Difference in index must be massive? Why the push to have everyone in 1 bunch? Given situation in past few races, has organisers lost their marbles? All we need now is another elite 5km neutral zone at 24km/hr and a possible 900 strong group...

How you feel about the 5 day format? From racing point its amazing and the route is proper. I feel like the open cat should probably be kept to 3 days? Also weather isn't looking amazing. Du toits is/was closed due to a severe fire. Cant see racing going up there in a few days?

Agreed, Joubert is in the form of his life. Lets see how well pritzen can go for the full week. Nortjie has show he can produce the goods... I think battle for red will be a cracker

apprently (directly from CT Trust member) they are quite overwhelmed by the entry numbers and even more so but the little bite on the short route.

is candice officially on the factory team or just for epic?

Grotts any good these days? Havent seen him since he was last here and dont really follow any racing in the US. Real pity Beers and Alex won't be teaming up. Who's in the fight for Red? Imbukos Joubert is flying, who will he partner? I assume honeycomb will compete with Tristan and Pritzen?

where is he based?

R 400 at registration. I think online subs are clsoed.
