And xc is hard so hard .. I tried it once.. full taps lap after lap ... eina not for me. But really really wish all the youngsters all the best, they are super talented.   MaxKnox 1
MaxKnox Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 @rouxtjie felt ready good!! recon this year i was in with a good shot at top 3 but, not shredded my tyre at the 40km mark beyond repair.. was wonderful race and real test for epic contenders.. was great to crest the KOM only 30 seconds behind urs and kev and 10 seconds behind karl especially since i been focussing on short power climbs.. and sabie has some monster hills!! big respect to all the soldiers who finished that monster day out... it looked deadly!!! Â funniest thing is in the week before the event the weather was wonderful and track so smooth and fast.. friday night that ll changed.. Â anyone else got any predictions on epic? dark horses?

I always cheer for the Bulls, Platt comes across like a really awesome guy. . How can one not cheer for him.. and this yr.. pheeewie.. they look so strong. As for the african jersey. . Not sure.. cant tell The ladies race may either turn out very exciting or just dominated by Kleinhans and her partner.. they destroyed the field at Pioneer.. but a lot can happen at any time at the epic.. I have noticed the RECM have had a couple of mechanical issues since moving over to Spez. . Not sure if it's just bad luck or perhaps paying the price for all that lightweight equipment.

Mellow Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 To me the yellow zebras team will be the stronger of Urs and Raboebi
Rudi Pollard Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I see on twitter that neil mcdonald has withdrawn from the epic for 2014. I wonder i Kevin is still going to ride and if so with who? Â It will be really crap if he doesnt as he has shown great form this year. Â
