[Event] Bestmed Tour Of Good Hope

[ASG]

Hi guys

 

RaceTec have come up with a solution for the Tour of Good Hope 2017, and the timing/results/registration challenges won’t be an issue in 2017. This is due to the following:

 

1. All South African riders already possess a RaceTec chip. Riders without chips won’t be timed and won’t receive an official result. These chipless guys consist 90% of our overseas entrants and we will coach them at registration where they’ll be able to buy chips. The key to this process is that riders are familiar with the RaceTec process – from registration (it will alleviate bottlenecks at registration) to the end result. RaceTec do the timing for us on all our other road events and they are the best at what they do in the country. We implemented the envisaged Tour of Good Hope system at this year’s Jock and it worked perfectly.
    
2. No time bonuses for hotspot sprints and stage finishes.
    
3. We are now already starting with the education process for riders to enter into their correct categories. It’s startling to see how many riders at this level still don’t know what the difference is between a CSA membership and a CSA Racing License and so many riders still enter as licensed Vets when they should be entering the Open category. This will hopefully lead to fewer riders entering in the wrong categories and having to be reseeded.

4.       Only the 4^th rider’s daily time to count in the Amateur Team Competition

 

 

These measures are all aimed at simplifying the results and timing process and we believe that with RaceTec’s assistance all processes will be fine for 2017.

What's the verdict for the 2017 tour? I see now they have a few places available. Any previous takers taking it up?

 

I haven't been on my bike since this year's addition to be honest so lots of work to do. Eeeek.

Well 2017 will be my 3rd TOGH & it is the one race on the calendar I won't miss. Best roads in the country & great value for money makes this the premier road stage race in SA. If you want to enjoy a proper road stage race & get to ride the best passes in our beautiful country, this one is for you!!! Lots of time in December to get the necessary pre event kilometres in

Did anyone here do the 2017 event? Was that field capped at 500 or 750? Time to consider the 2018 I guess but the last time I was on a bike proper was the 2016 event. Eeeeeek.
