Emperors Palace Classic 2012 (Road Race)

[CyclingAddict]

Everybody that had benefit from the Canada tandem guys, you were lucky to have them there, they finished just behind us (also on a tandem). The had a flat else they would not have been there when you hooked onto them - they kick our a$$es all the time

 

I find this incorrect indication of race distances a real problem, my computer indicate 104.84 - it's slightly further than the advertised 97 - tsk !

Any idea when the results will be out?

[CyclingAddict]

That's another good question greenhorn, early this afternoon the results for the VW Herald was available... what's taking them so long with the Emperors results ? They are probably adjusting the averages etc to accomodate the 103+ km distance, else some toys will be thrown out of cots all over the place ! lol

Results are out. Racedrek fails again. Long turnaround, time 100 and 50km mixed (winner did 60km/h!), at present can't search by group, etc.

That tandem rider was like a engine - then you guys dropped me unfortuantly for a lonely 10KM when the B bunch ccatching me enabling me to finish the ride in a decent time

Jurie Krige. And he IS an engine!!!

[jmaccelari]

unlike the rest of the bunch, I let them finish ahead of me

+1 to you. Respect.

I would much rather do 105 than 97 on this route, so I was quite happy. Also, you should learn the route and race from there - don't watch the clock! ;-)

We had a fight. A real one. Mixed group CL DL EL. Cruising along Rondebult at about 85 km mark . Two guys start bumping each other . One guy falls , other guy stops . Fists start flying. Both on the ground wrestling ,hitting. Group carried on . Don't know who won.

Nice race .

Immature ar$eholes...

The race organisers did a good job, BUT how do they get the distance wrong every year. Also had it as 104km

[Dexter-morgan]

Glad I'm not the only one who did like 103 km then. Well organised race, I have to say. Didn't everybody get the LED lights with their 'race pack'?

 

Some woman came down hard, anyone know how she's doing?

LED lights, HELL NO!! I got nothing!!! just a stupid Rudy project mag, net even an information leaflet.

Thats the east-rand for you!!

[Tjokkits]

by now i suspect they just call it 97km to get the entry numbers up because 100+ has a mental barrier............

[Sharkie 2]

Last year was 102km this year again so don't see the issue as no where was it said the route has changed

[scotty]

103 on my garmin same as last year, no biggie except the ave speed reflection on racetec site.

 

***quick punt** The Carnival is advertised as 103km and IS 103 km

[1hill@aTime]

Scotty have to agree, my GPS showed 101.85 who would be the race organisers they really need to fix there problems

Glitches are sorted out. Results are up and indexed.
