Those complaining that the route does not 'show off Joburg' must be from the East? And to that I say THERE IS NOTHING TO SHOW OFF HERE For me the entire day ran smoothly as well, although I'm not referring to my legs or my riding. Entry into FNB Stadium was a lot easier than Riversands for me, coming from the East and taking the Soweto Highway offramp I flowed straight into Silver Parking a short distance from the start. Those coming from the North will probably have a different outlook, seemed like a lot of congestion coming in from that side. Agree with Jan Smuts, only those who've been up there for that entire length on two self-propelled wheels know. More than one person on the way up complained that 'this is worse than the Argus!'

I saw quite a lot of bikes loaded on sweep vehicles during the day, it would help though to note how many riders 'Started' the race as yeah quite a few of those 3000 may have been DNS but it is a lot.

Was this around 8:30? I saw an Elite rider on the ground not moving, face down covered in blood. He was being attended to by someone only for another rider to crash into them, he proceeded to scream and shout quite bizarrely. The rider on the floor still didn't move. I was thinking about this during the entire race and just hope he is ok.
