rock Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 racing should be better, but will the winning time be slower? edit: spelling
Skubarra Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Wonder where they will start as I'm sure a few of the open groups would be faster?
Tubehunter Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Looks like they are the 1B group. So going off after 1A but before 1C Skubarra 1
KidCharlemagne Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Will be caught by 1C Long Wheel Base 1
Skubarra Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Looks like they are the 1B group. So going off after 1A but before 1C See they start 1m 30s before 1C - they will be caught long before Smits... Long Wheel Base 1
Pure Savage Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 See they start 1m 30s before 1C - they will be caught long before Smits... Its really hard finding a spot to put them if they are on their aces.
Skubarra Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Its really hard finding a spot to put them if they are on their aces. Yep, think it's impossible... Maybe give them a bigger gap but I don't think there are enough strong ladies to keep the group ahead of the wolves Pure Savage 1
koukie Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Looks like they are the 1B group. So going off after 1A but before 1CMy email from CTCT show they will start after racing tandems? $, racing tandems, elite ladies then VA etc? Edited February 25, 2015 by koukie
Pure Savage Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 My email from CTCT show they will start after racing tandems? $, racing tandems, elite ladies then VA etc? Have a look on ractec, put in a top ladies name and see that start time.

Red Zone Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I am sure that this was done quite a few years ago. The ladies rode easy up hospital bend waited for the subvets to catch them and then rode the rest of the race with the boys. Will probably happen again
milky4130 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Not with a comissiare in place, they would either be told to back off & let which ever group catch them pass & also warn other batches not to latch on. Essentially they should be on their own from start to end.
City Cycling Athletic Club Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 the ladies have a different mindset nowadays with a few of them racin o/seas, it should be an improvement from previous Argus's where they have had dedicated races.

Essentially they should be on their own from start to end. Good luck to the commissioner telling a bunch of amateur racing snakes chasing a sub-3 to back off... Mongoose! 1
