BDF Posted June 9, 2014 Share I emailed them this morning, and my query has been sent on to TIMEME/LAPIO.I will post the response when I get it. I did the same thing and it was sent to TimeMe/Lapio as well. Hope they sort it out soon! Don't you miss Championchip!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Monster Posted June 9, 2014 Share Do they realise they have stuffed up most of the rider's times? I see I don't even feature on the results of St. 2 :cursing:Neither do I.There is nothing worse than someone who brags about how good their system is (TimeMe & LAPIO in the Kremetart Mag) and then does not even have results for a stage 48 hours later.I had a target time of 5:30. I am close according to my garmin, but I never started or stopped at the correct time, so it should be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memakda Posted June 9, 2014 Share My times are out by about 20mins for each stage when compared to my Garmin.So my results are a whole hour over my actual race time.Not impressed!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falco Posted June 9, 2014 Share I missed the Kremetart this year, and judging by some of the comments re timing and the last minute route change, I'm glad I did. Doesn't sound good at all, sure as hell hope they fix it for next year. The route especially, it needs to be the full 4 stages or it loses it's character imo.

Apart from the timing fiasco, I kinda like the format (a few niggles that can be sorted). To go back over the mountain makes the race more "EPIC" and a steep challenge (pun intended) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound good at all, sure as hell hope they fix it for next year. The route especially, it needs to be the full 4 stages or it loses it's character imo. I've only done two of these: last year and this year. The new route is 5km shorter but imo its tougher because of the long middle stage and the monster hill at the end. The organization from what I saw was good this year but not nearly as slick as last year, probably because of the route change one week before the event. The big stuff-up is the new timing company TimeMe/Lapio who think its fine to go to sleep without the results being finalised. This was a special edition (25 years) for the Kremetart so I would think they would really go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that from a timing perspective, nothing went wrong, and if it did (as is the case) that they sort it out before they go to sleep that night! They obviously have all the numbers because prizes etc were handed out to people who do not feature in the published results. Not a good start to the relationship between TimeMe and the Kremetart!

Tjokkits Posted June 9, 2014 Share BDF never mind going to sleep before results are finished. Ive send an email to kremetart admin along with Gerrit and Barend from Timeme, out of office reply. Kremetart admin reverted back saying they will fix urgently but both are travelling at the moment..?? So seems to me Kremetart has been hanging out dry by these guys, I would not pay them. for the rest, my first time riding and I really enjoyed, the difficult last stage made it a tactical race and those who did not hold back earlier on paid the price. will be back BDF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokman Posted June 9, 2014 Share From the organizers point of view, it must be quite tempting to keep the route the same as this year's. But they will lose entries.I missed the Argus with the big wind. It is as if you've never ridden in wind if you didn't do Argus 2009. The same will happen to this Kremetart.

Spinnekop Posted June 9, 2014 Share I would LOVE for them to keep the new route. Easier on logistics and more challenging. Underachiever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Monster Posted June 10, 2014 Share Well done to the two hand cyclists.They started first, came in to each stage just before the start, and headed out again.We passed them coming down the mountain, back into town almost in the dark, with police escort.I hope they get a result, and hope there are more in the future.

I took a chance having been sick in bed a couple of days last week. Made it up the mountain then turned around again. Was back in town by 8 thenn waited for the truck with my bag on til 2'30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
