same situation....

 

Killarney is flat....and only an hour..."how hard can it be?"

 

Still only max 8 guys doing the racing in the bunch then the rest complain it is too short or not hard enough.... B)

Wonder why the reduced distance?

Like a road closure costing thing or something...

who said its not hard enough?

 

when you chat with the guys after the race...from Elites right through to Masters

 

not complaining...the shorter the better...not fit enough for longish races!!!

I get you, but was just saying that this is a road spring league and not a kermesse or criterium league. How much development does a young elite get with doing 56km road races in the Western Cape?

 

But it's so nice in the bunch...no wind to contend with, drafting up the rollers...

I know ...not aiming at you or anybody but speaking in general.

maybe they're expecting the attacks to be more fast and furious. its always hard if you go off the front...

It's the traffic road closure, we are only allowed to be there until a certain time granted by the traffic dept.

From what I saw road side was that the morning break went got a huge gap then people started skipping

turns resulting in the main bunch catching up. Not sure who drove the chase.

Go to "Events" and do a search for the Engen event.

There's a current thread on it.

The profile should be available on a thread from previous years.
