John, its easy for CSA to just select riders and send them. They pay for everything themselves. So the only effort is putting a list of names on a piece of paper. I received an email a month ago to say well done, you have been selected as part of the SA team to compete at World Masters track champs. Never mind the champs were 1 month away in the USA. You would never get a visa in time. Never prepare in time unless you were already planning on going. And the email is the end of it. No further correspondence about process, clothing, nothing. Up to the rider to contact them and arrange everything. International licenses, kit etc. And pay for everything. At least at Masters level no officials attend either 🙂

Totally agree. As a pro athlete he should set an example to the youngsters etc. And there is a decent way to handle situations. I think he was just pissed that a better rider klapped him on the day. With his actions as CSA I would never select him again. Never mind the question as to does he deserve to be there or not. It's more than just form. And anyhow, I think all the riders from SA at Worlds have more UCI points than him. Lost all respect for him the day he posted that Youtube video and stopped following him.

Maybe he will win his appeal after the champs are finished 🙂 Doesn't deserve to be at worlds with his attitude. Just my humble opinion.

Just be careful. My niece was selling a laptop. All the same scamming that goes on here. But 1 guy actually sent a driver with cash. Arrived at night. Gave a wad of cash. Top note real, the rest fake. Luckily they checked first. Unfortunately they didnt keep the real R100 note.

So sorry to hear. Condolences. May he finally RIP. He faught a good fight for a long time. Cant believe what both you and him endured over the last few years.

I remember a story about an official arriving hours late for a training session. He was sightseeing. And he had the mechanic with him. So rider had to sit and wait, maybe even miss the session. Cant remember all the details. But usually the officials think its a holiday and treat it as such to the detriment of the athletes.

Maybe Garmin could sponsor a GPS as a prize ????

Maybe lots of DNS due to the weather

@Frosty I agree. There should have been a CSA official following the break as well as the bunch. Especially in an elite field. And usually in a vets race, the official always follows the break.

Correct. And she exited with the group. Maybe the solution is, add the time gain of over 2 minutes to her finishing time, and see where she finishes the race then ???? And ban the 'lead' car driver and occupents from ever fulfilling that role again. And send all the officials on social skills management and conflict resolution training ????

As well as the fact that once they all realised they had gone wrong, they just continued with the race and never said anything to anyone and made like it never happened !!!!!!!!!!! Everyone is making Emma out as the victim in this scenario, including herself, but she also played her part in the deception. And the part that everyone seems to miss is that her gap increased by 2 minutes due to the 'error'. This does not make her a winner, also considering in the end she was less than a minute ahead of Ash. Unfortunate situation......most definately. And many things could have been done better, and she could have been treated better, but I wonder how Emma would really feel if she stood on the winners podium knowing she had gained an unfair advantage due to the error. She had a 1 minute lead going into Kyalami. Over 3 minutes coming out. And won by 40 seconds. Do the maths. Would she have just taken the R200k and run ???? If that is the case, I hope that sits well with her amongst all the other mud slinging about who wronged her and treated her badly etc. The main culprit in all this is the lead car driver and occupents.

The VF/VG group entered before Emma. She probably couldnt see the group. Strange there were no stragglers between the bunch and her.The group caught her when she had climbed over the barrier and the Porsche had just done a uturn and they had just joined the correct route to exit Kyalami.
