24th and just managed to beat Hoogerland

Midpacker...somewhere in between.

I thought the Bikehubbers are already boycotting the Epic with such limited participation. Was great to watch both the mens and ladies races and we all secretly wanted to be there. Entry fee is steep plus all the extras you are probably looking at R100k each as a minimum coming from outside the Cape. Seems that the race is too big now and almost out of control. Back of the field starting way too late, saw the same last year at Tulbagh with leaders coming down the mountain while the last batches not even up the first climb.

Anyone entered yet?

Did Mr. Benky not move to Santa Cruz?

He is 28, which is no longer young in procycling.

Pidcock is a risky and very expensive signing for a road racing team.

R100k is too much. I think the phrase you are looking for is "taking the piss"

Tempting...

My prediction, entries will sell out within 24 hours. Should have priced it at R50k. Left money on the table here.

ALL-INCLUSIVE ENTRY PACKAGE International Riders: USD 3,290 South African Riders: ZAR 45,990

Correct,

R50k to sleep in a tent for a week and ride gravel roads?
