Thug Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) OK, questions 3 & 4 are more tongue in cheek.... What prompted this poll is the following (ex my post in the Attakwas thread)... On going through the SS results, it appears that someone might have been a naughty boy. The SS winner, Nico Van Zyl rode the last +-36k's from Waterpoint 4 in a time of +- 1hr 52m. However, there appears to have been a rider that rode the last 36km's in a time of 47 minutes. By comparison, the overall race winner Urs Huber was 30 minutes slower than that rider and took a pedestrian 1hr 17minutes for the same distance. I don't know what logical reason there would be for being 30 minutes quicker than the overall race winner. BTW, there is a picture of the offending individual crossing the finish line on his bicycle. edit: took out the individuals race number and his finishing position. Edited January 22, 2014 by Thug
fabes Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Hopefully just a cock up with the timing system If not name & shame him with a picture of him crossing the winning line
V12man Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Pretty nifty riding that - on an SS - over 40kph.... well over....
DIPSLICK Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Pretty nifty riding that - on an SS - over 40kph.... well over.... POSSIBLE :whistling: :whistling: :whistling: BUT VERY UNLIKELY VicanZA 1
V12man Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 POSSIBLE :whistling: :whistling: :whistling: BUT VERY UNLIKELY 46kph by my calculation - so 10kph slower than freewheeling down the steep side of Northcliff hill.... or given 34x18 gearing, about a cadence of 200rpm.... or slightly more.... Drop a clutchplate on your foot for saying it's possible.... a BIG one Shangri la 1
Guest Latent Blue Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 POSSIBLEAgh man, dont try and brag now... downhill does count dips!

jcza Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Thug are you sure that timing system is correct? I don't think so.
FootballingCyclist Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Tie their feet to the pedals and send them down Chapmans Peak or Kloof Nek on a Track Bike so they cant stop pedalling!! Edited January 22, 2014 by FootballingCyclist

I say a timing issue , or he got a lift back ...............in a very fast bakkie DIPSLICK 1
dirtrider Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Is it possible that he took the wrong turnoff unintentionally ? At a USN race last year I finished with the front dudes on my SS
Skubarra Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Hopefully just a cock up with the timing system I agree, there can be many logical explanations. Don't be so quick with the cheater branding MTBc, RoboLuke and Rata Del Spruit 3
Shebeen Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 If you take out the last time check is the result an issue, is the oke capable of that time? Otherwise I suppose some motor vehicle assistance would have been required.
SwissVan Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Is it possible that he took the wrong turnoff unintentionally ? At a USN race last year I finished with the front dudes on my SS Ha ha yes it happens and can be genuinely innocent...the trick question is did he report "something innocent happened" to the event organizers on the day?

Capricorn Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 ask if he is a strava user and then go have a look behind the kimono...
