Dinkymoo Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I was looking at road events and times on Racetec and found a few suspicious entries. I find it a little strange that some of these girls can ride one race like an amateur and the next like a pro. Have a look at these screen shots: Am I missing something?
Long Wheel Base Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I noticed that as well. 2 ladies mixed with the elite men times. I'm thinking they did the short route yesterday.
shaper Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Could be that the 94.7 they are charity or corporate riding with a group or riding with a friend to help them finish... hence the slow times in comparison to others. I would compare other races through the year rather than the 94.7 or Argus with any other race as many do not see these as races and ride them for other reasons Just my 2c
madmarc Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 As with some MTB races, I think there is a lot of cheating in road races. Nothing stopping a rider getting picked up along the route and then dropped off around the corner from the finish. remember the guy and his girlfriend a few years back that claimed the fastest time at the Argus, fortunately they never crossed the mats at the top of Smitswinkel so they got DQ'd
Clinton H Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Looks like 50km Fast One times mixed up with the long ride , no ways any ladies went 2 min off the front of the VA gents ,Especially not from GL .
Odinson Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I'm concerned with the fact that you have 298 unread emails.
Long Wheel Base Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I'm concerned with the fact that you have 298 unread emails.id also like to know what "route" he downloaded?
Plentipotential Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I'm concerned with the fact that you have 298 unread emails. Keeping tabs on the entire fields race results takes time you know!
Skubarra Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 As with some MTB races, I think there is a lot of cheating in road races.Guys, hold the horses on the cheating claims! Racetec often gets short and long route times mixed up, doesn't mean anyone cheated and usually gets fixed quickly. I suggest the OP remove the names of the ladies in question. Not fair that they are accused of cheating when it may well be a mistake from Racetec.

nikki Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I'm aware of some guys wearing ladies timing chips just so that they (the ladies) get better seeding at the larger races like Argus and 94.7

dirtypot Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Why would you want a better seeing if you're just going to get dropped by your group? I don't get it...
Dinkymoo Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 I've sent these results to Racetec for further investigation. I'll let you know what the outcome is
paul_ct Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Maybe they got a flats/mechanicals in the one race.
Dinkymoo Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Maybe they got a flats/mechanicals in the one race.Look at the other examples. Flats in every race except one?
