JGR Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Depends, can you go the distance?As likely as you having the $5k Edited June 20, 2014 by JGR
Gen Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I read 100 teams had entered.. was in a bicycling article.. Lemme see if I can fin the link again.
no calves Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 i know there is 2 ways of looking at it,1) they trying to push for people to panic and enter2) THE ARE GETTING THE ENTRIES SOLD as i said when they released the entries, i dont think there will be a shortage of people lining up to PAY Last week there was 40 odd entries so i doubt the entries are selling fast...
rouxtjie Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Is the Munga UCI sanctioned? If no, previously convicted dopers and current ones could participate, yes? Maybe send lance an invitation
Shebeen Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 As likely as you having the $5kYou mean you're not sponsoring the entire entry fee?
Shebeen Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Is the Munga UCI sanctioned? If no, previously convicted dopers and current ones could participate, yes? Maybe send lance an invitation the other organiser guy from porsche already tweeted him an entry request tweet....uniballer said he was considering it....wouldn't that create a bit of media sh1tstorm Pants Boy and Ryanpmb 2

We could have charlie and EPO pitstops...you know rather be totally transparent about it. tunariaan 1
JGR Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 You mean you're not sponsoring the entire entry fee?Pay the fee and pull you through the race .... seems fair
JGR Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Ah so every doper that has been banned for life or currently serving a term can enter and win. We could have charlie and EPO pitstops...you know rather be totally transparent about it.Got to get your $10k's worth of value
rouxtjie Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Got to get your $10k's worth of valueToo true... If they think it through they could even get the big pharma houses to sponsor these stops...2 lines of charlie, and top up my mainline in my camelbak with winnie and epo But on a serious note....how can it not be sanctioned, surely it will take all the race's credibility away if you have a bunch of dopers in the starting pen. Maybe someone can confirm if its indeed sanctioned...I am not sure.

Money to UCI or having to operate within their rules ect.

The thing with dopers is that cheated in sanctioned / regulated races, think what of what lengths they will go to considering the prize money at stake and that they got a "hallpass" ito their bans. I mean sure you will take 10 years of your life, might even blow up completely, but win this one race....and you retire. PS they will also be fools not to since they are either serving a ban / banned for life. This is the final roll of the dice so to speak...might as well load it. Edited June 23, 2014 by rouxtjie

Im just not sure what other rules sanctioning might bring - it could not allow for this type of format. I dunno. Obviously I want a fair race, like everyone else but it would be great to see Lance give something like this a crack. He has the money so don't think it would be about that. He hasn't raced for a period way longer that his cohorts ....maybe have an ex doper cat?

Just saying that we must be under no illusion that any ex doper is clean at the starting blocks...They will be doped to the gills for sure, as I mentioned above...the incentive is too big not to. Maybe The Munga will apply the same stance as The Epic....no ex dopers are allowed in any capacity. I will really applaud such a move. tunariaan and JGR 2
DIPSLICK Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Last week there was 40 odd entries so i doubt the entries are selling fast... :eek: cant believe
Shebeen Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 still waiting to see some actual details on who's entered....even if not on the website, then surely the okes throwing $2k down on non refundable deposit are tweeting to their hordes about it...."platt and huber going we're racing munga". that sort of thing. Until then it's all marketing mirrors and balls generating promo hype, something that I always raise eyebrows at.
