Paulst12 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Think we should have tough 1 day races in SA. Just a comparison of what the pro's do in Europe vs some of our races here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesman Benson Posted July 21, 2011 Share For some reason they split the 'toucher' SA races into 3 stages. Ie Jock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokman Posted July 21, 2011 Share An interesting article in the TdF magazine compares roads in SA to those in Europe.It seems that we just don't have tarred roads with the length and incline of those in Europe. If I remember correctly Sani Pass' if it was tarred would be a Cat 1 climb.Drove up Franschoek and Bainskloof passes just last week.Beautifull and steep for an amateur like myself and I would love to ride them. Maybe it has to do with logistics and sponsorships due to fewer numbers entering if the distances are too long.

KaKa Posted July 21, 2011 Share The TDF is for the top pro's, the Argus is for every one that may be where the difference lies IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted July 21, 2011 Share Your right, Lance wasnt a top pro.... Or a top local. He could not even win the Argus. If he won the TdF 7 times and could not win the Argus, then that makes the Argus tougher. Edited July 21, 2011 by AndreZA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slabs Posted July 21, 2011 Share Heard a birdy whisper that the Oak Valley stage of the Epic will start with a 3000m climb over the first 50km! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesey Posted July 21, 2011 Share The TDF is for the top pro's, the Argus is for every one that may be where the difference lies IMHO Plenty of amateurs have ridden those routes. The Etape follows an "interesting" stage each year, this year is Stage 19. La Marmotte runs every year and goes over Telegraphe/Galibier, Croix de Fer and Alpe d'Huez. The difference for the Pros is that it is today's stage comes after they have raced for two weeks already.
