Got this nonsensical reply to my query on my seeding for this years Argus.

 

Hi

 

Please remember that the 2011 Tour enjoyed really good weather, which resulted in much faster times compared to the 2010 and 2009 tours. You would have had to cycle approx. 1hour faster, just to remain in your previous year’s seeded group.

 

Regards

 

And my reply.

 

Thank you very much for your reply. I however beg to differ from you, as it means I had to do a 2:43 Argus in 2011 (compared to 3:43 in 2010), whilst the winners in my starting group (E) only did a 2:56 in 2011. In 2010 the winner of my group (D) did a time of 3:15, which means, using your reasoning, that he had to do at least a 2:15 Argus in 2011. This is quite impossible, as it means he had to beat all the Elite riders, to achieve that.

 

Be it as it may, I again thank you for the time you took to answer my query, I'm sure you had hundreds, if not thousands, of queries in the same vain. I really do not envy your job.

 

Once again, thank you very much.

Brilliant response Wannabe, makes their response seem ridiculous :clap:

No answer would have been better than a stupid answer. If you don't make an effort to answer the query properly then what is the point in answering the first place?

 

It just proves to me that their seeding criteria used for this year is totaly flawed. I mean, go an hour faster just to be able to stay in same seeded group. BOLLOCKS!!
