'Dale Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 IMPEY for glory! His chain snapped in the sprint finalè last year.Good fortune for Louis then. DARYL is looking in good form based on what I've seen at TDU.
Sharkie 2 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Heard from a friend the 40+Vets race were move this week to 13:30 Sunday. Might be a tad hot, not to mention messing up a few travel arrangementsLadies Elite moved to Saturday 1pm!!! That is just insane
Sharkie 2 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Oh and I reckon Dylan Girdlestone is a dark horse!
Don Sol Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 Impey is in good shape... tour down under did well. I think Louise said on twitter hes feeling a bit flat.just hoping Louise gets it. Most important result is that Impey is racing. He was put off last year due to the poor handling of his test results. Good to see him riding in SA.
Underachiever Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Most important result is that Impey is racing. He was put off last year due to the poor handling of his test results. Huh????
TALUS Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 He was put off last year due to the poor handling of his test results. Good to see him riding in SA. Where have you been?
TALUS Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Ladies Elite moved to Saturday 1pm!!! That is just insaneCrazy!
Zeffer Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Today topped at 42 degreesSomeone measured the tar surface at 72Crazyhot
TALUS Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Surely it is irresponsible to START a competitive race at 13:00 in this heat. It is not safe to do so.
Patchelicious Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Surely it is irresponsible to START a competitive race at 13:00 in this heat. It is not safe to do so.Clearly you have never seen the act of lady riders pouring ice cold water over themselves No agree, that's a bit insane. Can't they rectify this?
Zeffer Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Ag its the same for everyone in the category at the time, Johnie Koen is making big hoo-hah about hydration, there are plenty free water, icetea and chocshakes!!!! And I even saw some beers trackside yesterday!
Cal Naughton Jr. Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 On a different note, I must say I was rather disappointed by the lack of doping control after the time trial. I was one of the Juniors that had a "surprise" result and I'm sure a lot my opponents who didn't know about me have a few raised eyebrows. I remember whilst racing African XCO champs, the first 3 guys were immediately taken to the doping control tent. I am certain that everyone in my race is clean, but it never hurts to be sure - even if it is just to prove to everyone that the top 3/5 riders performed based on their training, not on PEDs.Test us, we are racing in a UCI category after all. Hopefully things are different for the road race.

Patchelicious Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Erm maybe he just did better than he thought he would....
