jcza Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Yep, that is how I understand our bet....2nd / 3rd means nada...win or nothing. We are on the same wavelength then - look forward to lunch & a couple of cold one where we can discuss the next road race. rouxtjie 1
Gandalf Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 All this animosity towards the team that didn't report themselves for a minor infringement... (and didn't report Evan/Knox either)Hope you do a citizens arrest of the next person you see jay-walking Oi!! im for them not against them, its just a second option for them, if they feel they need it, because it seems that kind of thing works wonders in getting someone an hour penalty
Tubeless Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) It looks bad if you look at it. (the Songo one) Rules are rules............ I don't think the organisers have a choice. The penalty is stated in the rules and they have to apply it. Edited March 28, 2014 by Tubeless

scotty Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Methinks they should put decisions like these to the Hub in the form of a poll. Help.Me. and Andrew Steer 2
Gandalf Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 You know, I leave the route by more than 5m all the time, but then again that's usually shortly after my speed exceeds my talent... hahaha same here, I did that last year when I over took a slower rider only to find that there was a turn and i went head first into a bush/tree (had lekker scratches and torn shirt from the branches), wasnt the best shortcut choice. Help.Me. and lone one 2

Mr Mulebar Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 The video footage from the cameras that captured the incident will be played in tonights highlights. KE made a deliberate decision to leave the course and made a move to cut from one section of track to the next which might have been 5m but helped him jump approx 12 riders in order to catch up with MK and was well over 50m of track. You can't hear the verbal abuse clearly on the video but it is there. A number of teams were in line to protest the incident incl euro teams, however the Scott Factory Team was first. I've always liked and supported KE and it's pretty disappointing to have to be involved in his demise in the race, but must say I find his and their teams response to this appalling and in very bad taste. If I were The sponsorship manager at Fedgroup I'd be cashing out of this team at the first opportunity. zabalad, Joeboy69, Thug and 9 others 12

Nice to hear from someone that actually knows what happened... it all makes a lot more sense now. Stretch and rouxtjie 2
Tractor Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 It looks bad if you look at it. (the Songo one) It looks like there's bunting leading to the turn, they literally short cut just after the bunting ends? Also looks like the bunting was put there to stop riders using the shortcut jeep track, they just grab the next jeep track, miss the bunting and short cut the turn.

jcza Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 He should have shouted "TRACK" instead. Gandalf and Andrew Steer 2
Gen Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Shame I actually feel very sorry for Knox. . Here everyone was doubting his form after the team shuffle and he is actually the stronger of the 2. Gandalf 1
Shebeen Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 The video footage from the cameras that captured the incident will be played in tonights highlights. it sounds like you have seen the footage, let's assume what you say is true. in this day and age, they should have already released it. would stop so much internet speculation, keyboard warriors and twitter thumbwars. none of this is good publicity for the event or sport.
