ROCKITRIDEIT Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 But not too early otherwise you have bunches from behind catching up and the stars guys hook on the back and pop out just before the sprint. It is against the rules for the bunch to hook a tow from any other PPA group or racing group that comes past *sigh*
Spat Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Has not been enforced last two racers but maybe with the extra marshal assigned this week. We were caught on both occasions rather than catching another group but after a while it was a mix of Stars and F riders I think
Zac.A Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 From the Pro-Classic e-mail received yesterday... "Mixing of different racing Pro Classic Series/groups Racing groups may not combine unless two categories start at the same time. If it so happens that cyclist(s) come into contact with a group that is not part of their specific racing category, the cyclist must either ride past or stay 20 meters behind the group. Should it happen that a cyclist(s) passes the league group; the commissaire will instruct the group to let the cyclist(s) go past. No participant is allowed to fall into the slip of a cyclist(s) that is not part of their particular racing group. This rule holds true for both other Pro Classic Series groups and funride groups. Cyclists infringing on this rule may be disqualified, penalized or both."
ROCKITRIDEIT Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Touristvisa was very vocal in the group last week , asking guys not to cross the white line I think, and so were others, but you know the mentality of some riders man, they a law unto themselves. Lets hope the Marshals make a difference this week. MTB_Roadie gets going before the bunch gets jittery, think that is the best strategy, get out of there asap Cheers Spat, see you on Sunday dude! I think I may be a lot less vocal on Sunday and just opt straight for the headbutt Thanks for the racing advice guys, have an enjoyable 126km!!
Spat Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 know that just stating what happened in the last two racers.

We were caught on both occasions rather than catching another group but after a while it was a mix of Stars and F riders I think We were always gonna be caught on Sunday after we had to sit up and neutralise racing after the marshall sent some of the bunch the wrong way at Ocean View
Tiny K Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 It is against the rules for the bunch to hook a tow from any other PPA group or racing group that comes past *sigh* I thought so as I remember a woman k@kking 2 chickies out for riding in our slip in the D'ville High school race. Just wondered if they enforced this as this contributed to interesting riding in the past two races.
Tiny K Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Looks to be a hot day on Sunday boys - 34°C MAX, starting at 19°C at 5AM. Light Easterly wind. Nothing hectic. http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=zmw:00000.1.68713&hourly=1&yday=28&weekday=Sunday
