  12. I recently discovered I will be disqualified from Hill2Hill if I do it on my new gravel/CX bike (and possibly won't even be allowed to start) because it has drop bars which are banned in CSA rules. Does anyone know of any justification for this restriction? Is there any way to appeal or bypass this restriction? Are there any suitable (edit: non-asphalt) races where I would be allowed to compete on the gravel bike?
  13. Final blow for bicycle cartelDec 22 2016 07:54 Cape Town - The Competition Appeals Court (CAC) has dismissed the appeal of two bicycle wholesalers, saying doing nothing amounted to agreeing to fix prices. The CAC upheld a Tribunal finding that Omnico and Coolheat engaged in conduct directly and indirectly in contravention of the Competition Act, namely agreeing as competitors to fix prices. This ruling brought an end to the long-running bicycle cartel case. In 2008, some 20 bicycle retailers and wholesalers contravened the Competition Act in that while being competitors in the market for the supply and delivery of bicycles and bicycle accessories, they agreed to fix prices. This resulted from a meeting held on 10 September 2008. In the meeting the parties agreed to increase gross margins by inflating mark-ups for cycling accessories from 50% to 75% and for bicycles from 35% to 50%. They further agreed to implement the increases from October of that year while stopping discounts and getting shops to stop undercutting each other. In addition, wholesalers would provide higher recommended retail prices to retailers and advertise these to the public. The Commission initiated a complaint in terms of the Act against all 20 parties that were at the meeting. Prior to the hearing at the Competition Tribunal, the Commission concluded settlement agreements with eleven bicycle retailers and six wholesalers. Among other things, the retailers and wholesalers agreed to settle the matter based on the following: · They admitted to having contravened the Competition Act; · They agreed to conclude the settlement agreements without payment of an administrative penalty; · They undertook to cooperate fully with the Commission in relation to the prosecution of any other party who are subjects of this matter; · They undertook to desist from engaging in similar conduct; · They agreed to refrain from engaging in meetings that may constitute cartel conduct; and · They agreed that their employees, management, directors and agents would attend competition law compliance programmes. Two more wholesalers, however, did not conclude any settlement with the Commission and decided to pursue the matter at the Tribunal. Omnico and Cool Heat Agencies argued that they did not "actively participate" in the discussions and were therefore not liable. The Tribunal, however, found the wholesalers did nothing to distance themselves from the discussions and that their silence amounted to an agreement. Administrative penalties of R4 627 412.00 and R4 250 612.00 were imposed on Omnico and Coolheat respectively. The two subsequently took the matter on appeal to the CAC, which has handed down judgment and concluded the long-running case. In dismissing the appeal, the CAC found that neither Omnico nor Coolheat distanced themselves at the meeting after consensus had been reached: “They gave no indication thereafter that they disagreed and they placed no evidence before the Tribunal that the increased recommended retail price, following the September meeting, was as a result of an independent decision without anti-competitive effect.” In dismissing the appeal, the CAC ordered the wholesalers to pay the costs of the appeal. Omnico was granted a 50% discount on its administrative penalty. http://www.fin24.com/Companies/Retail/final-blow-for-bicycle-cartel-20161222

  21. With the Spring Classics, and soon the Monuments, in full swing – I thought I’d squeeze in the proposed Fantasy Giro | Tour | Vuelta scoring format for 2016. The 2015 competition worked well, but rewarded riders that had a mix of riders across all the scoring categories rather than matching the real-life performance of each rider. 2016 will return to the classic format rewarding pot-luck, with a bit of insider knowledge. Points are heavily weighted in favour of the daily stages, and possible breakaways. The only other significant change will be the unlimited use of your substitutes, with the changes limited to the two rest days. A handful of Hubbers played a simplified version of the Vuelta last year, which worked well, but with riders pulling out before the World Champs (or fatigue), pot-luck played a big roll in the overall scoring. The Giro 2016 will be the test-run using the new scoring format, so you can get your picks fine-tuned before July. I’m open to suggestions, as long as it’s simple to implement, and easy to understand. The new proposal is as follows: Pick 12 riders (9 active + 3 subs)The 9 active riders will score points every day.Substitutions can only be made on the rest days.A rider previously substituted can be brought back in on the second rest day, if needed.The only time you lose a rider from your team is when he withdraws from the Tour. Points are awarded to the riders based on the following: Frequency – Category (places) – Points available Daily - Daily stage placings (top 20) - 50-40-32-24-20-18-16-14-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Daily - Yellow jersey (top 10) - 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Daily - Green Jersey (top 10) Daily - 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Daily - Polka Dot jersey (top 10) - 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Daily - Jersey wearer (Yellow) - 10 Daily - Jersey wearer (Green) Daily - 10 Daily - Jersey wearer (Polka Dot) - 10 Daily - Jersey wearer (White) Daily - 10 Daily - Most Aggressive Rider - 10 Daily - Rider in Break - 10 Daily - Rider in Break (at finish) - 200 divided by No. riders finishing ahead of peloton End of Tour - Final Podium, Yellow (top 10) - 20-16-12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 End of Tour - Final Podium Green (top 10) - 20-16-12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 End of Tour - Final Podium Polka dot (top 10) - 20-16-12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 End of Tour - Final Podium White (top 10) - 20-16-12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 End of Tour - Most Aggressive (Overall) - 50
