Velouria Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Slowest teams go off first - to make sure nobody gets heat stroke. Fast teams start at the back and have to overtake everybody.Not this year. To avoid the total chaos in Montegu, the top seeded teams start at 6 onwards (along with a slower team). It looks like the fast teams might be separated by 2 or 3 minutes, but it's hard to tell which teams are the top seeded teams from the start list. Start list is here

Thornman Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 herman fouchebag - on a single speed What about Herman?
Lucky Luke. Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 What about Herman? I think Fand is predicting Herman will win the DC with a solo breakaway.
andydude Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Top three from last year starting in the middle in reverse time (e.g. Daikin 1st last year, starting last of the top 15/20). Before AT you'll get the rest of the top 15 or 20 teams down to 06:00 I think, but thereafter it's the normal starting order with best team (after top 15/20) starting last. Daikin GU Elites 136 06:22Cape Town Market/Noble Energy 130 06:19Anderson Transport/Star South 124 06:16
Slowbee Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 which team is the (ex) colonel riding for ? was one of the teams not accused of cheating for bringing down some riders from JHB ?
udxcob Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 rubbish poll, the winner isn't even on the list De Fairies, surely not?
nuge Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks, startlist does seem a bit random in places. Good to be going off earlier anyways.holy crapola, you're telling me! we're heading off 3rd last - bummer

Velouria Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) which team is the (ex) colonel riding for ? was one of the teams not accused of cheating for bringing down some riders from JHB ?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... Dis wat ek nie verstaan nie.Ons is 6.15 en ons ry net om klaar te maak.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. Edited November 23, 2011 by Velouria
Lucky Luke. Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 which team is the (ex) colonel riding for ? was one of the teams not accused of cheating for bringing down some riders from JHB ? we are cheating again this year in that case
