Newboy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Is it just me, or does this year's routes look more easy than the previous 2 years?Just you. Prologue was a lot easier than last year but you total distance and climbing for the whole race is more than the previous 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBoshoff Posted March 15, 2015 Share Here's another one: Is it just me or was the TV coverage of today's prologue the most underwhelming thus far? (Please don't reply with "I was there and it was great...that's not TV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLuvsMtb Posted March 15, 2015 Share Here's another one: Is it just me or was the TV coverage of today's prologue the most underwhelming thus far? (Please don't reply with "I was there and it was great...that's not TV)I will never know. PVR'd it to watch later as I was at lectures all morning (yes, on a Sunday). My wife decided to watch something on Catchup and stopped my recording. A new prologue venue adds a huge unknown, for both riders, logistics and broadcasting. Sounds like it was not all that exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted March 15, 2015 Share Sauser not able to hold Kulhavy up deer park climb and dead man tree climb I think nobody will be able hold on to that wheel. Kulhavy is beastly strong, never thought I would see someone push Sauser up a hill like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odinson Posted March 15, 2015 Share Sauser not able to hold Kulhavy up deer park climb and dead man tree climb Sauser's age maybe starting to show? However, he's not the best over short distances - you can't really judge his from over 20km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neill Du Toit Posted March 15, 2015 Share The commentator mentioned something today that Sauser might retire later this year? Not sure if this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted March 15, 2015 Share The commentator mentioned something today that Sauser might retire later this year? Not sure if this is true.Yip.. I read it somewhere too.It doesn't matter how strong one rider is.. the team is only as good as it's weakest rider. . But it was only the prologue, still lots of kilos to go for all the teams..

'Dale Posted March 15, 2015 Share Sauser's age maybe starting to show? However, he's not the best over short distances - you can't really judge his from over 20km.Yip. He's an ultra-endurance machine, not a XCO red zone specialist.Did well though considering he struggled with pacing with Cool Harvey Turning 39 this yearWhat a bike rider!

dev null Posted March 15, 2015 Share Yes, you can't compare a long distance specialist's performance with XCO specialist over a 20km race. Sauser usually only starts pushing the pace on the 2nd or 3rd day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
