MTB_Roadie Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Anderson They were disqualified last year for feeding in the wrong zone, and then the rumour mill began. If you check the results, you'll see they were reinstated. And why is bringing riders down from JHB cheating? I have two guys from the UK in my team... I think it is a safety thing - when we got to Montegu it was chaos. Teams weren't keeping left, and often we would have to pass on the right, and fight for space with backup cars. I think they are just trying to get the faster guys out onto the road as quick as possible with fewer teams that they have to pass. That is like saying only Cape Town people are allowed to do the Argus Cycle Tour....If you can get Saxo Bank or whoever to join....why not?
Tiny K Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 holy crapola, you're telling me! we're heading off 3rd last - bummer Yeah, it is k@k - no pro wheel to suck when they come past You riding in the 'not so young bucks' team? I leave a few minutes before you in the William's Bike Shop team at 7:01 At least there is the benefit of getting enough sleep in before the race I'd hate to have to start at 5:30 again!

One minute behind you Tiny K 7:02 (Hermanus Pharmacies) we got one pro and one elite rider in the team so thats why I think we got such a seeding. I think wheels sucking will be in order. Will pull on the down hills.

Slowbee Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 we are cheating again this year in that case @Velo, yea thats right, it was the food thing. I didnt know they were DQ'ed and then re instated. And jislaaik but you okes can be the devil in the details sometimes. I have no issue with bringing down some mates from JHB to ride. Heck if I could get my lard ass into gear to ride it, I would also rope some friends from JHB to do it with me. It was that I recalled there was this big fuss about it with the everyone saying there was cheating going on because a cape team had some JHB team folk in (or was it the other way round ). In the end it all amounted to nothing.

Well we have 3 Germans (one rides PPA races), an Xterra guy, a triathlete, a dude who has come off the Ironman Austria - me on the other hand comes off a bad winter season and even worse spring (training wise - races have been awesome). I am starting to get a little nervous.
Guttergoat Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 Do anyone know when the list will be available off the riders in each team?
Slowbee Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 The thread is here , forgot about all that other stuff.
