City Cycling Athletic Club Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 And these abominations NEVER EVER happened during all those years these PPA races WERE SANCTIONED by CSA? Or, a little more inconvenient, shall we mention the traffic mayhem during the CSA owned, sanctioned and organized Tour de South Africa? Remember, with motorists almost killing some of the peloton and a stage getting abandoned because of it. Embarrassing that was. (Low blow, I know, but we were talking safety and marshalling, weren't we?).remember the french farmers that stopped the td france - some things are just beyond control but at least you have recourse up to the minister of sport. unsanctioned events?
GLuvsMtb Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 remember the french farmers that stopped the td france - some things are just beyond control but at least you have recourse up to the minister of sport. unsanctioned events?At least that wasn't the last TdF. CSA is so clueless, they'll play solitaire for cash and lose.
Danger Dassie Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 remember the french farmers that stopped the td france - some things are just beyond control but at least you have recourse up to the minister of sport. unsanctioned events? No recourse was provided then either there was zero accountability taken, so there goes that argument.
Spinnekop Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 So wih 2 weeks to go there is still no win-win solution.....where "win-win" is defined by we the cyclist don't get screwed?
GoLefty!! Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 No win-win because CSA painted themselves into a corner. How many more losses can they absorb before the resignations start coming? these okes must have the JZ School Of Thick Skinned Management
rock Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 show of hands, who entered the Argus and can't ride now because of this?
American Flyers Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 You know how stupid we are, just like me.. The reason why we renew the PPA membership every year because if we are notmember of PPA, that means we have to start at the back in the fun rides over the weekend???? Most of us don't like it...
Icycling Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 show of hands, who entered the Argus and can't ride now because of this? Everyone can still ride the Argus it just depend on the individual as they will to face a 1 month ban and a 50CHF to 100 CHF fine!
Pure Savage Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Everyone can still ride the Argus it just depend on the individual as they will to face a 1 month ban and a 50CHF to 100 CHF fine!That's assuming the CSA can work out who to ban. I reckon will take them 4 months who to ban. By that time too late. Reckon pretty safe to do it, doubt they have the ability to get act together.
rock Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Everyone can still ride the Argus it just depend on the individual as they will to face a 1 month ban and a 50CHF to 100 CHF fine! sure I realize this, just curious who wont be there on the day as a result of this fiasco. edit: spelling.
Bloukrans Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Everyone can still ride the Argus it just depend on the individual as they will to face a 1 month ban and a 50CHF to 100 CHF fine!There is always a first time - haven't been banned from anything before!! In a way, I look forward to being banned.
Spinnekop Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Everyone can still ride the Argus it just depend on the individual as they will to face a 1 month ban and a 50CHF to 100 CHF fine!So ride and even pay MORE to CSA. No thank you......

Reckon pretty safe to do it, doubt they have the ability to get act together. Off the high profile riders - I am sure the ban will be applied from that day / the Monday!
Tubehunter Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I don't get why everyone is making ongoing noise about this. The last statement from CSA read that you won't be up for National colours etc and licensed riders who are considering this type of involvement should abide by the UCI ruling. Joe Average who races in the leagues would not be affected.... How come this keeps being made bigger than what it is??

Joe Average who races in the leagues would not be affected.... How come this keeps being made bigger than what it is?? As stated I don’t know much about MTB races but last year I managed riders in the ABSA Cape Epic and they needed international full licenses to compete in this event. For this event do all riders need international license / full Licenses or can they ride as just been a member of CSA? If they need full licenses - then the issue become quit large as any of the the riders in the ABSA Cape Epic cannot ride both they now need to choose between the Argus or the ABSA Cape Epic!
