Elite women: 93km in 1h53min

Junior women: 63km in 0h56min

Junior men: 93km in 1h33min

 

Are these times correct? What were their average speeds? +60km/h (apart from the Elite women)???

I think they missed an hour somwhere ?,?,

[Ispeed_V]

@gtr1 - think you are right. Times of:

2h53

1h56

1h33

 

seem more realistic

Ahhh another sport where we dominate Africa.

 

Hopefully our footie win over Spain wasn't a complete fluke and we can finally start to smash Africa in the one sport where we are their whipping bafana bafanas.

It is a joke at such a short distance, the win wont make many waves through Europe. Ashleigh would most probably have won if the race was 90km odd as well but the woman need longer races
