Still has nothing for J-Rod and AC.

They just announced route will go ahead as originally planned. Froome and Porte abandoned cause they know they have nothing for AC or J-Rod.

If anyone remembers or got the mail that did its rounds last year of the "motley crew" of SA Pro's they are basically now on this team. Lets hope Neil leaves and finds greener pastures.

You and many others are saying the same thing and its not good things. Waiting for a bomb to drop here.

I rode this event and saw guys go the wrong way at the marker and shouted to them but they kept going and the rest of us went the right way.The route was so hard for me personally but the markings were not the problem in any way. Cant understand how you all went wrong when everyone else in the 75km from the Elite Ladies to Men A-C went the right way. To me its not the markings that were wrong here, its you.

If you use your phone to track your ride its often wrong.

I have not received my seeding mail today, are they still going out or is there someone I can contact for it?

Im giving it a go, havent raced a MTB in years but hitting the Marathon

Capricorn, how can you say it wasnt safer and if the contact happened it would be worse? Cyclists die from being hit from behind, not to sure what is worse than that, please help me understand. Also, at the time of me being unbelievably lost, that option was the safest. Was it wrong? Yes in your eyes, in my eyes? No. Why? Cause I made it back into town safely, showered, had a meal and rode this morning instead of maybe eating through a pipe or worse shoudl I have known I had to please you and your ability to see into the future. To me that was the safest option and had the most positive outcome as I could see oncoming traffic where before I couldnt and I had no real choice cause I took the wrong turn off. But still. Just want to confirm then that none of you when getting lost have driven up a 1 way etc and so on? Wow, this place is full of perfect people. It makes Jesus Christ the sinner and you all died for his sins. Well done for all leading perfect lives. Please carry on.

That was me in fact Tomik and I have never been on that route before and missed the correct turn off / offramp. I also thought it may be safer at the time once it happened instead of being hit from behind by a vehicle. I am sorry Tomik if your whole evening was ruined by a honest mistake I happened to make and you feel better now insulting and abusing me on a forum. I hope your day is now better at my expense. To the other Hubbers that saw there may be a different outcome to Tomik's abuse. I thank you.

Im not sure they will win it but I am sure of a stage win and maybe a overall podium. I also dont think they have a option from Scott to ride anything else but this size wheel bike. I may be wrong.

I thought the route was really great, separated the men from the wannabes very quickly, especially in Cat 2. By lap 4 there were about 12 guys away - of which I was definitely not 1 of them and decided to watch the action instead. with about 25min to go it was 2 Felt, 2 'Oconnor, 1 Cyclelab, 1 Aurecon left which tuned out to be a good race from a spectators point. Well done on a great circuit, the wind wasnt in the organisers favour but thats Cape Town for you. Lucky Luke - I thought you were going to win this and that the course suited you.

Are you uploading with a phone or a actual unit? Strava when tracked with a phone is not as accurate as with a Garmin head or any other head unit for that matter.

I can not say how many people do or know about this as often when people go "scientific" to say they believe it doesnt apply to them cause they a recreational rider. At the end of the day everyone wants to see some form of improvement in their riding not so? A simple FTP test is a simple and great way to see how your improvements are coming on and with Strava for example its a cheap and accurate way to test without being tested.

When you upload your files to Strava and have a powermeter on your bike the power data is 100% accurate on the recorded ride or race you upload. Therefore the FTP is correct. Even without a powermeter the data on Strava is pretty accurate, it is within a 5% range and that is good enough to work off for any athlete or rider wanting to use that as a training tool and "test"

Not true, any level of athlete will benefit.

A bike fit is only as good as the person doing it. I had a BG fit done by 1 bike shop and my knees and back we in agony after a few KM's. I call Specialized direct and they sent me to another BG fit shop in Tableview area. Did the fit and have been brilliant and pain free since. I wouldnt say the system doesnt work for everyone, I would say that fitter didnt do a good enough job or knew what to do correctly. Steve does Ergofit so I am sure his settings on the bike were Ergfit based so there you have someone who knows the system.

Heard many complaints about her fittings.

Well now I dont feel so bad then, I dont even do that speed down a hill never mind on the flats. Well done the 2 of you really made the deciding factor during the race with that move.

I was convinced this was going to be my 1st League race finishing with the Cat 2 bunch after going over Hels with the group and seeing people get blown out the back. Confidence was high until you and your team mate put everyone in the gutter at about 50km/h and ended my dream and turned it into a nightmare with another 30 riders or so. Whatever happened there was spectacular, the group I was in to the finish were joking how quickly our race was over. How did you finish?

Shaper, why dont you stick your poephol where is belongs and out of other peoples business??

You are very wrong in your post.

I agree with you Squire, there programs are heads and shoulders above anyone else offering the same service. I've mentioned this before but the 4 coaches / owners are really good people and also really down to earth if you follow their escapades on twitter, Instagram or Strava. Dr Mike and John seem to do silly things on their bikes.

Does anyone have the results from the Hill climb today? Top 10 in Cat 1 and 2??
