rock Posted February 9, 2014 Share also wondering about this.....if Louis takes the elite jersey then I suppose he shouldn't be able to race the U23 world champs? bit like a vet racing elites and then wanting to enter the masters world champs later in the year?? anyways good for Menchis, classy rider......

Smartie Posted February 9, 2014 Share This does not make sense? Who is the U23 champion then? Why then split the Elite and U23 TTs if only one winner for both categories?

Lone_Ranger Posted February 9, 2014 Share There was a similar situation with James Reid at the XCO Nationals last year. I think he took the U23 title in the end.

NotSoBigBen Posted February 9, 2014 Share Cycle Nation @Cycle_Nation 3h Not the case. Was announced before the race that if an U-23 got the win, he will be SA champ. @joeycycle @Cycling_SA Baroudeur 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/136091-meintjes-wins-the-south-african-elite-road-championships/#findComment-2209170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartie Posted February 9, 2014 Share This can only work if Louis is registered to race Elite (like a vet with an Elite racing license - he is then not allowed to race in his age category), however, Louis raced the U23 TT, so he is UCI registered as U23 and can't then claim the elite jersey as we'll?

GaryvdM Posted February 9, 2014 Share According to an article on CSA website: As with the African Continental Championships, the Elite and under-23 Men started the 180km race together, and the first rider to cross the finish line was dubbed the Elite winner. In this instance, Meintjes is the new under-23 and Elite National Champion. also: Impey was visibly disappointed with his mechanical failure after a strong day in the saddle and an almost certain victory: “My chain came off in the sprint and I’m pretty disappointed. I had it in the bag, and it is really disappointing.” Edited February 9, 2014 by GaryvdM Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/136091-meintjes-wins-the-south-african-elite-road-championships/#findComment-2209193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
