Has anybody received email/sms about race this weekend? Is number pick up tomorrow at cycle lab?

Thanks for entering Saturday’s 31st edition of the Bestmed Jock Cycle Classique, presented by ASG in the Lowveld.

Riders’ starting times for all stages are printed on your race number which you will receive at registration.

Please make sure you are in your starting block 15 minutes prior to your stage start. Complete start times of all groups available on www.asgevents.co.za

All riders must collect their numbers and race packs at one of the following venues:

Thursday 17 July: Cycle Lab Megastore Fourways 10:00 – 16:00

Friday 18 July: Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit 14:00 – 18:00

Look out for some great specials on ASG products at registration!

Stage 1 starts in front of the Mbombela Stadium – in the in-road to the northern side of the stadium – and stage 3 will also finish into the stadium, contrary to last year’s finish in the main road outside.

Stage 2 starts in front of the breakfast hall inside the Rob Ferreira school grounds in White River. The stage is neutral until riders are outside the school grounds and they take the first left turn up the hill.

Stage 3 starts at the back of the pavilion inside the Sabie Primary School grounds and the stage is neutral until riders are out of Sabie (and onto Long Tom Pass!!)

The road surface throughout the Jock is good with the exception of the descent stretch past Heidel Eggs on the second stage.

Please look out for potholes here – this section will be clearly marked and marshals will have whistles on hand to warn cyclists.

Good luck!

With every Jock medal worn, again a cyclist is born.

that is what the site says so yes

[Patchelicious]

What I posted was mailed this morning.

[Underachiever]

No seeding details yet?

[HOEKVLAG]

Nope, all they say is that your start group is on your race number. Really poor communication....

[Underachiever]

Eish. So we'll have to wait until Friday. Hope I get a better seeding than last year!!!

This is the most expensive race I have entered so far, with the worst info available and communication ...... just saying

[Spurs]

As a race which is supposedly fairly high profile, you'd expect much better comms. It's a great race, but the increase in price and decrease in organization won't do them any favours.
