If anyone hasn't seen the new route at the end of the race (from Malibongwe) I took my camera along this past weekend and filmed it for you. I wanted to check out the road we'd be riding on.

Great video!

Lest we forget who's in Joburg!

I wonder how much the home advantage will swing it to Ashleigh. I think it will be an intresting race. I hope that the womens race gets footage so I can watch this show-down afterwards.

 

 

(To be honest, I'm not to really intersted in mens race, so can the footage of the mens race, and just show us the womens race please.)

Ashleigh is a climber. The 94.7 parcours is tailor-made for a power rider with those 5 short moderate gradient climbs in the last 20 km. They're too short and too easy for a climber to gain any advantage.

 

I went and had a look at the final km to the finish line this morning. Very chilled gradient with flat bits even. Puncheurs will be able to attack from the bottom.

Bliksem pal, that must have hurt.

She is an yster .

 

She actually has a very moderate build.

 

If you didn't know any better, you wouldn't say she's a champion cyclist. Very plain Jane.

Good luck to all! I'm sitting at King Shaka waiting to catch a flight back to Joburg - friggin gale force winds and talk of cancelled flights down here...I'm getting nervous that I might not be in Gauteng by 4 AM tomorrow! :unsure:

True that...a slight headwind though - on the other hand perhaps just the thing to warm-up the legs for that hectic first 10km's of the new route... :P

Does anybody know if spectators will be able to watch the finish line? The venue layout only shows the hospitality area next to the finish line?
