Brian Fantana Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Absalon (although not a marathon rider per se he is hanging up the XC end of this season), Lakata, Dahle Flessja, Spitz Lakata is out due to a severed achilles tendon. He would definitely have been here, if he did not sustain the injury. He was second at marathon world champs last year and he beat Sauser properly at Leadville 100, so it would have been exciting if he was here. Edited March 24, 2014 by Brian Fantana GoLefty!! 1
georges Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Just out of interest and not to create any debate, which riders or teams are using 27.5/650 B?
Andrew Steer Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Roel Poelissen's tram is on 650BAnd Schurter/Buys
GoLefty!! Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Yip, Epic on 4 days notice is brave... but it's not like he hasn't been riding - he'll be good! Hope so. They're not in yet. Last riders have just left WP2
Andrew Steer Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Lakata is out due to a severed achilles tendon. He would definitely have been here, if he did not sustain the injury. He was second at marathon world champs last year and he beat Sauser properly at Leadville 100, so it would have been exciting if he was here.There is still a lot of debate about the Epic and it's timing wrt the World Cup XC racing calendar. Some riders use it to build base (like Hermida, Schurter etc) but many skip it as it just doesn't tie in with their main focus for the season. And those that do come here are generally not near 100% yet. It's just not the same discipline as XC riding. How awesome would it be though to have everyone here - Kulhavy, Absalon, Kabush, Spitz, Kalentieva, Lechnar, Batty... and then for some real fantasy league stuff: Ullrich, Evans, Merckx, Stybar, Cancelllara etc I'd find 50k then Danger Dassie 1
Danger Dassie Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Ja, riding at the top level in a multi stage marathon event over rough terrain like the Epic. Bit of a knock to a competitive advantage to not be riding on a 29r.
