Athena Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Who's it going to be?For the men Returning Lange?Impey?Barlow World?DG?For the ladiesAnriette Schoeman?say what you will, when the pressure is on this girl can pull it off
The Saint Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Just on this does anyone know the ruling. Let us say for arguments sake the first guy across the line finishes in 2H15m then someone seeded in a group behind finishes in 2h14m who is declared the winner?
fandacious Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Yes that person would be declared the winner, but the chances of someone coming from the back are HIGHLY unlikely....
AndreZA Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Everyone is a winner for just finishing.I would love if princess gets her ass kicked again. Will be so cool if Taylor Chick takes it.

Their time does not count. The other person might get a prize for the fastest for the day. Â
slowjoe Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Everyone is a winner .... Â did they teach you that at the "special" school you went toÂ
Merida Man Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 JP Pearton for MTB race...... Not sure what the ladies field is like in the MTB race..... Daryll Impey on Sunday (is he riding ?) Cherise Taylor for the ladies. But lets see, it should be very interestingÂ

boeing Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 My money is on Arran Brown. The only thing he hasn't got backing him is a strong team. Barloworld won't go for the win I think. I see it between Arran or Christoff van HeerdenÂ
Joe Low Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Yes that person would be declared the winner' date=' but the chances of someone coming from the back are HIGHLY unlikely....[/quote']  It's normal in ladies races that women from the seeded groups are faster than the Elite Ladies - this is because they ride in men's bunches that are stronger than the Elite ladies who can only use their own (small) group to make the pace.   Â
Wonder Woman Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Mampara is correct there. Princess can only pull it off if she has her team behind her. I would love one of the Konica Minolta girls to get it again.  Let's hope they actually race this year!! (I'm shooting myself in the foot here but hey, there is only one way to get stronger) The guys....Tough one. I'd put my money on one of the MTN boys. Â
AndreZA Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Everyone is a winner ....  did they teach you that at the "special" school you went to  Didn't you see the "Specialized vs Silverback" thread? You're special only if you ride Specialized. Â
Thug Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Well it ain't definitely gonna be me, and you can put money on that ! Â
