cyclingronaldo Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Hi Guys, what would 1E equate to in the old or previous seeding system? any help
Belgian biker Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I kinda like the idea of doing that 2nd lap as a helper for those with technical issues or needing a push along the way.yes, if you see a blond Belgian woman in a Sabrina Love shirt, be extra nice on a side note: I asked my family and friends for sponsoprship for Sabrina Love and have collected 370€ = +/- 4800ZAR
'Dale Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 The CTCT actually made global headlines http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/news-shorts-pro-riders-cleared-for-cape-town-cycle-tour
Pure Savage Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 So what time are the elite ladies starting, what is the gap behind the elite men and infront of 1A? - Update - went and snooped around racetec and found that they are starting behind 1A but in front of 1C, so they are 1B effectively. So they will be caught by 1C and then be sprinting with all the sub 3 hopefuls.
Ollie123 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Hi all, A friend of mine cannot attend the race and passed his ticket on to me.I phoned the race organisers and apparently you cannot substitute anymore.Do you guys perhaps know if there is not a way to do this or what should I do as I would really like to go. Cheers
Rockspider99 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 as far as I am aware once Subs are closed that is all she wrote.

CheersThe only way you can do this now is illegally, by posing as your buddy. However if caught the both of you will be disqualified from future CTCT's.
TALUS Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I am really annoyed by the way the 2nd lap issue has been (not) handled. I was invited too late last year to change my arrangements. This year I trained differently and made all my bookings around a second lap. I confirmed on the website that it will be happening and even communicated with PPA an CTCT to confirm this. Now it appears that the organisers let this slip through the cracks (while fighting over longstanding issues). It leaves a sour taste.

rpedro Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Guys I'm assuming VA, VB, VM and 1A is one group and 1C would be like the old A group. Is my understanding correct?
mulmi Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 1 week for expo. Keep those credit cards at the ready
Long Wheel Base Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Guys I'm assuming VA, VB, VM and 1A is one group and 1C would be like the old A group. Is my understanding correct?AFAIK seeding wise old "A" is now 1A. Last year "A" started with that vets group and its the same this year. 1B is elite ladies. so 1C should be a group "B" rider.

Tubehunter Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Guys I'm assuming VA, VB, VM and 1A is one group and 1C would be like the old A group. Is my understanding correct? In starting order yes, but the 1A group will all be the young bucks at the front of the field with the VA, VB and VM riders. i.e They have included the old A group with the Vets riders from the start. The racing elite ladies then go off 3 minutes behind that bunch and in 90 second intervals the next seeded groups go off behind the ladies!
eddy Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 There is a split time calculator on the cycletour website If I download the calculator it gives me a read only spreadsheet and thus no way of changing the target time. Anybody got a solution ?
