Gen Posted March 28, 2014 Share Yip there they have dropped the ball a bit...be consistent. Fedgroup however can't use songo's transgression to motivate theirs...2 wrongs don't make a right No I know that.. but I saw a tweet the Beukes tweeted this morning.. about fairplay and bla-die-bla.. and was so tempted to ask him.. so then you so against cheating and cutting corners, why didn't you lodge a complaint against Songo on the Prologue day.. (But I know why.. Cause Beukes has no chance in GC, so it doesn't effect them directly.) Oxter, GoLefty!! and Mousea 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted March 28, 2014 Share I want to know where people got the idea it was 5m or an uphill switchback... It was mentioned in this thread as speculation but nowhere have I read what the actual infringement wasEither way...1 sec or 10 minutes...does it matter?

Look if they cheated then they deserve the punishment, but it just sounded like a bunch of kids throwing toys around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Smimby Posted March 28, 2014 Share Easy...be in front of guy / team that are slow in tech section...the question should rather be, why is the slower guy in front of you at the section where they are holding you up. In short - Racing ??? Punctures??? Etc. then you end up behind slower riders Do you race MTB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizkit031 Posted March 28, 2014 Share I think the organizers should ride those sections out and see how much time was really made up and penalize them from there.1 hour sounds a bit harsh,but what difference does it make what we say anyway.

rouxtjie Posted March 28, 2014 Share ??? Punctures??? Etc. then you end up behind slower riders Do you race MTB?So what....????? Ah there is your problem....equipment choice(why did you get a puncture and the slower rider didn't) is as much part of racing as pedaling...If you are behind someone, you need to pass them legally...

Tromp Posted March 28, 2014 Share Could this be the reason the 4th stage was not televised on Dstv last night ( 22.30 ). Maybe Dstv should also be penalized Spoke101 and ChUkKy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazambaan Posted March 28, 2014 Share It would be interesting to know how the "course" is defined and what the tolerances are. Or is it just subjective in that one "gained an unfair advantage" so penalties can essentially be applied at the discretion of the disciplinary section of the race committee. Sound like F1 (or the Dakar); everyone races and the details get sorted out later, sometimes in court. Course cutting rears its ugly head in enduro's and offroad mbike racing now and again. I think they have width envelope along the course.. There's an idea; have waypoints like the Dakar. Go wherever you like but you must tick off the waypoints within a defined tolerance.
