christopher sauser can win argus cycle tour?

[Oufy MTB (Roadie)]

I noticed up suikerbossie sauser has the second fastest time after Lill. I also saw in this year's Argus he finished with the winning group. If he gets a lead out, can he win the Argus?

 

Just asking cos that oke is a machine at 37yrs

Probably could

[Jakkals.]

unfortunately he doesnt have the kick of a sprinter.

[Cav']

Would be out sprinted like antonj said.

[TALUS]

He needs another 90min of racing time, 1000m ascent and an uphill finish and he would be in with a big shout.

[Sniffie]

No denying that he is a machine, but the argus is just to flat. He would be outsprinted.

[GoLefty!!]

The argus is also too short in terms of time in the saddle for Sauser to really be competitive.

Make the final segment along Beach Rd a gravel section with muddy segments - YES

[Vetseun]

No

[Meezo]

As if strava segments count....

 

 

Strava UCI Points!!,

Come on Meezo, Strava is worth 10 points

I did the climb from the Glen (Camps Bay) up to Roundhouse on Sunday, and I noticed that that Strava segment is also dominated by mountain bikers. Top 4 positions all held by local pros. I suspect that MTBers are just generally better climbers (flame suit on) especially for longish climbs, but lack the speed on the long flat sections and rolling hills which dominate road races.

I think if you go to Europe where there are proper mountains the results will look different.

[D Vader]

YES, Suzie could easily win, would just need to make a break on the climbs.

I vote Suzie for President!!

[Bman]

Easily! The mans incredible!

the elite bunch at the Argus should finish on top of signal hill......
