Brian Fantana Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 OK, I will just chat to myself here, but some more information for those interested: Start List - Elite Men: The route is 94km with 4400m :eek: of climbing. Start Time: Saturday 08:00 Route Profile: There is an easier 56km ride as well with only :whistling: 2700m of climbing. When I hear how some local okes complain about too much climbing in races, I would really like to see their reaction to european races.
E-man Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 He Current champ Periklas not defending? http://www.uci.ch/templates/BUILTIN-NOFRAMES/Template1/layout.asp?MenuId=MTY4OTg&LangId=1 Hy gaan ry en klomp van SA: Lill, Luus, Bell, Kleinhans, Knox en Keey. As Evans nog by Nedbank was sou hy ook gery het, enige iemand kan deelneem wat genoug UCI punte het hulle moet dan net self betaal.

Brian Fantana Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 That is the 2012 start list... Thanks for pointing that out. Here is the 2013 entry list (attached). MARATHON_EL_ME.pdf
Brian Fantana Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 Christoph Sauser for the win Kulhavey is riding as well, will be interesting to see who is the "team leader".
Brian Fantana Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 will this be on supersport? if yes, channel? I will put down good money that they will not broadcast it, they will rather show "2010 - The Legacy" 12 times a week, and run 7 repeats of each and every rugby game every week.
jcza Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I'm going with Lill as top South African and top 10 overall. (unless it rains)
Rob Mortimer Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I'm going with Lill as top South African and top 10 overall. (unless it rains) Good call - he loves the hills. Reckon Charles is in good form as well?
