khm4252 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I was talking to my engineer from the Netherlands who came to service my equipment and we were talking about riding. He mentioned all the races in SA seem to be in teams and most of the ones he enters in Europe are as individuals. I wonder if anyone knew why we mainly have 2 man team races?
CAAD4 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Because it is our responsibility to promote togetherness and harmony? There are enough lonely, sad, individuals out there causing harm to society?

Its Afrika, safety in numbers and all that kind of logic....
rudi-h Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 think it started off with safety. if you pair people together and one dude gets lost / hurt / injured, there will always be another to assist. I agree it doesn't make for interesting racing amongst the pro peleton, but I guess from the race organizer's point of view its not a bad idea.
Mr Legs Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I thought the the two person team fashion started with the Cape Epic.

jcmeyerSS Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 because there are not enough 2 woman teams to dominate the composition of the field.
Fire Engine Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Funny how one can do the Joburg2C solo, but not the Sani2C?More tents less entry's
Jeanpg Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Which races are considered to "require" the teammate, which are enhanced by having a partner and which ones should really be solo's?
