'Dale Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 He needs to kick out at least 10% more watts than nino just to stay with him...nevermind pull him. And its not like nino puts out 200w. Big respect Inspired performance by Buys rouxtjie 1
Meezo Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I remember Karl Platt saying that the Bulls wouldn't be truely competitive until they had soft-tails. His comment was that the jarring takes it out of your legs, and in the final few days the cumulative effect was just too much. I think this year was the first year they had soft-tails? He probably had huge expectations... Last year they rode Dualies, i think it was their first on 'emRemember them saying they giving it a go in the Grape Escape
Jakkals. Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 any chinese carbon frames doing the epic? how are they holding up?
Shebeen Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 The racing might be exciting, but there's a bit of a foregone conclusion to most of the categories. It only really seems like disasters can topple most of the jersey holders from here on, the halfway stage. Overall - Topeak have an 11 min lead, 4th is 26,mins backLadies - RECM2 have taken the jersey back and have just a min gap. but take they have dominated the whole way except for the 30mins they lost on stage 1. 3rd is an hour behind.Mixed - With cherise pulling out, the mauritians now have a 90minute gap over the Israelis. Masters - this is probably the tightest finish, brentjens/azevado have reclaimed the jersey and have a 3min gap over wilson/enthovengrand masters - mighty mouse and his austrian buddy have a good hours gap and have won every stage. they're even ahead of the younger masters too. _David_ 1
