Squier Posted June 29, 2015 Share Well done to Matt Beers who actually went and finished - respect. I saw on the results he is only 21!! If that's the case there is a bright future for him. Agree that more guys should have been sent. Robin at least said that she was not 100% and wouldn't be able to give worlds a good go...Max well didn't know he didn't go/opted not to go. Must say was surprised by his selection, but that's my opinion. Perhaps there should be local races that replicate the next world distance and accent to get CSA to select the best suitable candidates to send. Anybody know of a local race that was equivalent to the world's distance and accent? At 87km with 4700m of climbing for the men (and 60km with 3400m ascent for the women) they are by no means dime a dozen. The biggest days in the Epic don't even get close to that.

The Attakwas does not even get close to the ladies race, not even mentioning the mens race and atta is double the distance of the ladies race!

The biggest days in the Epic don't even get close to that.is that a normal course? That's over 5% gradient if it was just an uphill, so average of the climbing is probably double that. Might as well call it world uphill champs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco-fiets Posted June 30, 2015 Share My colleague in Italy did the race. Few thousand entries. He is not that bad a cyclist and the course took him almost 9hrs Squier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squier Posted July 2, 2015 Share My colleague in Italy did the race. Few thousand entries. He is not that bad a cyclist and the course took him almost 9hrs For example; the average time on Day 2 of Sani is somewhere between 6 and 7 hours. That is only 1900m of climbing. Sella Ronda is almost exactly two and a half times that. I'd say 9 hours isn't bad at all on that course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Sanchez Posted July 2, 2015 Share I find it surprising that Sauser beat Kulhavy, after obviously being the weaker partner in the Epic.And I'm pretty sure Lakata also weighs around 75+kg Edited July 2, 2015 by SpilledCoffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco-fiets Posted July 2, 2015 Share Was under the impression that the marathon worlds was not a focus of Kulhavy so he purely rode in support of Suazer SwissVan and Rick Sanchez 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
