jayz Posted March 30, 2011 Share Just a lot harder hey. No peletons to suck you along at 30% capacity. Ask any roadie who has done a proper Mtb stage event if its the same and see what he sais. NOT EVEN CLOSE MATE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted March 30, 2011 Share Ja, it's like cutting the race to six days and then they still want to tell us "how tough" it was. It's just tough because the stages are so long. Make it 16 days of 50km stages and it will not a problem for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
