Ridemyplanet Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Yellow jerseys, 29 inch wheels, stages etc. Has MTB become road racing? Isn't it just roadies on sand roads?

jayz Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 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.

Wyatt Earp Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 not even close dude!I am a roadie, a hard core roadie, and I have never felt so threatened, these MTB riders are starting to cross in to our borders, not on

DaLoCo Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Just MTBikers realizing what they are missing.....
Skaap Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) yip Dangle, these MTBikers are tuff.... "rof en onbeskof" Edited March 30, 2011 by Skaap
Wyatt Earp Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Don't forget time trials.Ja, it's like cutting the race to six days and then they still want to tell us "how tough" it was. yip Dangle, these MTB are tuff.... "rof en onbeskof"I wonder how scared they will be of us roadies.
AndreZA Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 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.
Witkop Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Solution to problem: single track,single speed,single entry.
Wyatt Earp Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 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.I have to ask myself, what's happened to the good old epic where every stage was 100 km's + for a full 8 days.
