jcza Posted March 25, 2014 Share The euro's that are racing for podiums are just as well prepared, many of them spend time in warmer climates training and the euro winter has been mild this year so even for those who could not go to warmer places it was possible to spend time in the saddle outdoors. Its a good point though, SA must be the mecca for marathon and stage racing events and participants (by numbers), yet SA riders struggle to dominate...and many have had good overseas experience so its not really possible to blame the lack of experience / competition. Remember these are the best riders in the world so seeing SA teams in top 10 is an achievement. One cannot expect to dominate when up against the best in the world. Lets aim for a top 10 at world marathon champs. Dan Dob, nonky, SwissVan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underachiever Posted March 25, 2014 Share Nope won't do it either. The man looks strong. Totally off topic. Why does supersport focus the first 5mins of the already very short program on the town of Robertson. I don't care. I want to see bikes and more bikes. For a whole 25mins. You call that marketing...... Sidekick Racer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoLefty!! Posted March 25, 2014 Share GOod points on SA being the mecca of marathon mtb yet we don;t dominate. We definately don't have the culture yet but the heart is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke101 Posted March 25, 2014 Share I don't think Rabon is the problem but it appears that tech issues are the problem. I'll wait to read about it before writing off Rabon.Sauser had his rear brake pad spring somehow get mangled in the caliper and rotor, had to keep stopping to try fix it. Erik and Nico had to try help and then pace them to the finish. Waynehans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
