Ya I watched it, was interesting and the team time trial at 54km/hr was insane!! Have a feeling there might be a new race format after this and rather than just 2 athletes (M/F), perhaps top 5 or 10 PTO ranking and each having a team for all legs.... Even though it was a showcase and contrived, there was still a good element of racing to it.

The 255 looks a good option, unless you want the mapping facilities on the 955

Only on vitality sponsored races do you generally get money back if you have signed up to cycling and/or running for the year. Often the vitality races will have more points awarded than for other races. I do every race for the points, any money back is a bonus as I make more with the Discovery miles.

I saw a copy of an email from Ironman SA saying we will be told the Wednesday before the race and that they are doing independent water tests as well as getting the municipality water tests.

Lol, something you need to learn, especially when you tell cyclists not to cry when you pass them! And as each of your posts get more personal i can see you dont heed your own words.... quite funny for one who said goodbye quite a while ago. You total misunderstanding of the written word is being one of the main protagonist of why this thread continues, and trying to insinuate am angry when you do not know me, and i have discussed nothing more in that ebikes should have their own race day on such events and that there is a valid question by the OP that as more unfit and unskilled bike riders come to such events with ebikes, there is concern for issues to happen.... as can also be seen by your misunderstanding of the colloquial use of the word blast as you pass A group riders up a climb. Clearly from that point on if has hit a nerve... so read your own words and heed them!

DCR slated it, so would not consider changing what you have if you have already?

Your ego as fragile as the others here? Loosing at your own game too....

Not when Pieter says he gets seeded in A&B, which is an ebike in a cycling group. Perhaps his ego is to fragile to declare that he is on an ebike and the organisers dont pick it up? There again, he could just be making it up...

Ironic really, as that was your intention .... yet finished with lets be happy just riding our bikes. Seems you are not happy riding your ebike and feel the need to justify and defend it and have a dig where you can 😅

I fall to see the relevance of such an irrelevant comment, But to put into context, I have done Sani so know what it entails and back then we raced man v man and not man v ebike. And we were seeded each day on our own ability and fitness.

Where did I state I rode it this year? 2016 was the last time I rode it.

Yet reading you early comments is this thread you are right up there with your often sarcastic comments fueling the flames....

I also blame the organisers, how can an ebike be seeded in A & B each day?

As I said, rose tinted glasses....

Semantics......as you seem to forget in the moment and seem happy to blast past someone on a climb on your ebike and take small pleasure out of it. The only angry one seems to be you in that people may have comments against an ebike rider like yourself as you are mixing it with A and B batch rather than being an ebike tourist and just doing the event for the enjoyment. You will have your place and race, which should be separate to a cycle event and hopefully now there are plenty of ebike riders this will happen very soon in all stage races and such threads will no longer arise.

Angry? I guess your rose tinted glasses see only the side you want to see.... or do you deny your comment of how you like to blast past people so that they can never see you again.... Or is your comment because I suggest in fairness to the OP concern that in events like this you should have your own ebike day, which then takes away from your little pleasure?

Yes really, you want me to quote your post?

For someone who said they read the first 2 pages, obviously did not comprehend what the OP said. He did not have concerns about any ebiker mowing down someone or complain that this was happening, but more about the lack of technical skills and fitness level of people who would not do such an event normally, but think and ebike can make up for this....however are being a danger to themselves and potentially others. And the guys who train super hard were probably doing the race where there are unlikely to be many ebikes if any!

Really??? I am reading this thread totally different... mostly those who ride ebikes venomously defending their choice with a lot of sarcastic comments thrown in.... and seem to think they are somewhat better and enjoy the false sense of enjoyment/entitlement as they blast past never to be seen again, to quote one poster. If someone has trained hard for an event and continues to train hard for future events, they have a right to have concerns about ebikes being in the middle of cycle events and by the comments here there seems to be enough ebike riders that they could have their own day tagged onto the Sani event which is already over 3 days. So why not make it 4 days and 1 being solely for ebikes or teams with an ebike in it, even if the other half of the team does not ride an ebike. As I see it the hate is coming the other direction because someone voiced their concern about the level of fitness and skill of people riding an ebike at Sani this year where some decent handling skills and a certain fitness level are a must and felt it was a danger not only to themselves but to the riders of ebikes.

They should be racing on their own dates, a week before or a week after. ebikes just against ebikes and not mixed in. Then they are in their own category

Cannot advise on your RGT issue, but as a possible alternative without subscribing for Zwift you can look at ERGvideo https://ergvideo.com/ErgVideo-free/whats-free where you can pull your workout of the day from TP. It is only windows based though

Looks like a very rushed prototype and not the finished product. Even the Etap blips are duct taped on. I think KB is being pretty brave to be using a prototype for such a big race. He must have some confidence in it.
