rouxtjie Posted November 9, 2012 Share I (sadly) agree with you Dangle.Yip make that two of us....as long as burry and suzie are riding the epic...KE will not win, doesn't mean that I don't like the guy, just the truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted November 9, 2012 Share Yip make that two of us....as long as burry and suzie are riding the epic...KE will not win, doesn't mean that I don't like the guy, just the truth Not going to be easy........With a stellar line-up of riders for 2013, the field will be the most competitive that the race has ever seen. Reigning world champion and overall World Cup winner Nino Schurter from Switzerland is due to compete, as are the other two riders standing on the podium at the 2012 world championships – the Fluckiger brothers, also from Switzerland. With the Olympic silver and bronze medallists confirmed as starters, it’s entirely possible that the race could also host Olympic gold medallist Jaroslav Kulhavy, provided that he doesn’t sign with a road racing team for 2013. Of course, defending champions Christoph Sauser and our own Burry Stander will be at the start, as well as a new-look Team Bulls. Six riders are signed up, lead by the record four-time winner Karl Platt with his new partner Urs Huber from Switzerland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted November 9, 2012 Share Okay so what hypothetical SA Team will win the Epic? Max & Ben? Seems Burry is married to Sussie i.t.o. Epic, otherwise I would say Burry & Maxus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the privilege of riding with them at the Cycle Park last year.Yea look sahmurai is a legend...but his performance has been up to scratch of late and I think karl knew that if he wanted to be a contender it was time to move on.

Mellow Posted November 9, 2012 Share In SA I think Matthys is KE best bet for epic. IMO Max and Ben-Melt (similar to George) go in to light weight and loose performance. Very scientific - I know If KE WANT to win the Epic he should ask bra Julius or Usher too help him on their SS Thats my bit of keyboard garbage for the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted November 9, 2012 Share Sahm has been suffering from an injury too. Seem to think it was vein-related.Yea I would put that down as the main reason...he can't seem to shake it. It's defnitely not due to being slapgat. He was absolutely shattered after the prologue last year...that set the tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
