Wez-O Posted April 11, 2014 Share I wish... nicked them off their page. Just got pics of stage one. Looks like I will be going to follow next year though, was supposed to this year, but just a few too many fires to put out at the moment.I hope everyone in Joburg is coming to watch the criterium racing at Blue HIlls Midrand tomorrow. Will be awesome racing at all levels. Andrew Steer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie NL Posted April 12, 2014 Share Did go have a look at Blue Hills Estate today and found it very dissappointing.  Road surface was not suited to racing at all. Am really surprised that it was signed off. Not many spectators. Overall feel was not in line with the calibre of teams participating The estate put up a pretty good show with plenty of entertainment for children, food etc.  Anyone a better experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez-O Posted April 14, 2014 Share Really enjoyed the criterium racing but have to admit that the road surfaces on the track were very dangerous... Had to bunny hop speed humps at 60km/h and ride through sections with water and sand on the track, so that wasn't ideal. The race definitely deserved more spectators though as it was a good show and great chance to rub shoulders with some of the countries finest cyclists.

megs Posted April 14, 2014 Share The road surface was not a challenge, it was destructive! I am sure a number of carbon wheels have irreparable damage after that.I believe one of the team managers even pulled his entire team from the race.I am sure a better venue could have been found, we have such a beautiful country and we aren't depicting that to the international teams. Disappointing finish to the tour! Wez-O 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez-O Posted April 14, 2014 Share By the way, where do we find the criterium results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracs Posted April 16, 2014 Share Re the road surface etc, Malcolms standpoint is this is what guys face in Europe on a week to week basis. Sketchy crit courses are the norm. The tour is largely about bridging the gap for our local guys. The turnout was disappointing and maybe the location was a bit too isolated - with a big crowd the vibe would have been cool.

Sounds good to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
