Tankman Posted November 11, 2013 Share Interesting The Elite Ladies started in their own bunch if I am correct.But they rode their normal defensive type race and some ladies in A bunch posted faster times than they did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluiper Posted November 11, 2013 Share Interesting The Elite Ladies started in their own bunch if I am correct.But they rode their normal defensive type race and some ladies in A bunch posted faster times than they did! Sure, that happens quite often. As there are only about 15-20 ladies in the Elite group, there's a lot less drafting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted November 11, 2013 Share Sure, that happens quite often. As there are only about 15-20 ladies in the Elite group, there's a lot less drafting. Winning an Elite group probably also has less emphasis on time as opposed just beating those in the group. BabyAndy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabe Posted November 11, 2013 Share So how do you pass the same group twice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted November 11, 2013 Share Sure, that happens quite often. As there are only about 15-20 ladies in the Elite group, there's a lot less drafting. No that does not happen often.Because the Elite ladies have started with mens groups previously. They have started with SubVets, Vets, Masters and I really dont want to open that can of worms again. It is best for all that they start in their own group and race their own race. Not sure if you know exactly how the ladies race but it is a lot different from the men. Not aggressive but defensive, attack are very few and very far between. Everyone sits around keeping an eye on each other. If you dont take a turn at the front to keep the mudane pase going, the claws come out. If non-elite ladies can suck wheel faster than a bunch of elite ladies can race .... something's not right?

DARK KNIGHT Posted November 11, 2013 Share Would have been quicker if we weren't required to bow down to the Elite Ladies and the Marshall of Doom who were in the way. You're right! I saw the guy in the Hyundai had a word with the guys in front probably to stay clear, I don't know. but we were going good at that stage with them ladies!
