Headshot Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Two vantage points sanctioned by Epic and TMNP. Both will be cluster F...s . So does that mean no riding from Deer Park or hiking in case you catch yourself spectating and damage the mountain any more than you would on any other day? Strikes me as utter BS and typical SANP thinking plus a bit of a TV monopoly for the Epic and easier marshaling... Cant watch the race properly even when its on your doorstep.Pretty disappointing IMO. Its just not MTB.
Beefy Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Agree. I will try make my way to MF. They should be pretty slow there.
SwissVan Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Are they streaming the prologue like they did last year, could not find anything on the website about live streaming

What's with the Bulls riders all showing their activity cards on twitter, did Sanparks force the Epic to get each entrant to buy an activity card - wouldnt surprise me. Here's a novel idea for Sanparks - instead of full control mode today, maybe try acting as ambassadors, stewards (as per those little words on your shirt), you could even use the opportunity to educate people about the use of the mountain. (But I guess that assumes you Sanparks actually has a clue about the asset they steward). Clearly I am no fan, I fully expect to be told where to stand today by some ignorant, over zealous ranger with strict instructions to control everything.
gummibear Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I'm having issues with the live rider tracking Is it just me?
BrandonF_ Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Watch it on tv man, much better...no jostling for the best view, or fat okes in front of you, some dude puffing his smokes in your face etc etc...

urbanroyal Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Stunning day in Cape Town....maybe Argus organisers must move it back by a week....heheheheeee. ..☺
dev null Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 TV broadcast was extremely boring. Almost fell asleep. And pretty poor visuals at some stages. Well that was my take on it.
dev null Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Stunning day in Cape Town....maybe Argus organisers must move it back by a week....heheheheeee. ..☺ I agree. Actually, I would prefer the race on the first Sunday in May. Cooler weather and much less chance of SE. Rain also not that high probability so early in May. But that discussion may be for another thread. The early groups had lovely cool weather today.
NicoBoshoff Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 The TV coverage was rather underwhelming. Commentary reminded me way too much of this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BZTiRdcURuI#
NicoBoshoff Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Also virtually zero footage of top 10 men on the tech trail sections.
