slabs Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Pure marketing hype and not for the locals.... http://www.cape-epic.com/news/670/
GlockG4 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 "The entry fees to the Absa Cape Epic only cover 55% of its budget, considerably less than other comparable events." How can this be?
Nictex Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 It would be nice if they charged South Africans less than the International just like the Cape Argus does. The reason more foreigners do the race is because we cant afford it. It seems crazy that the race gets cheaper for international riders and the South Africans have to suck it up!!! Just my 2 cents worth.
slabs Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Remember that this is an international event of the highest quality and kudos for them in that regard. Just does leave a sour taste when they drive a nail into the South Africans that want to do it and have been great supporters of the race. Clearly aiming at a bigger pro field as well as the $$$$ from overseas. Luckily I have ticked that box....

GoLefty!! Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 this went beyond the realm of simple greed a long ago.
GlockG4 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 It sucks big time, this is a race that I badly want to do, but at those prices, not likely to happen...ever
