Patchelicious Posted August 18, 2015 Share I'm not sure that anyone has that luxury. At some point the truth will out. What is glaringly obvious is that Glen Haw has declined to comment as told by the Sunday Times. What we do know from experience is that the sooner the other party puts forward their side of the story the better. And in the PR world sooner means hours not days! I am amazed that this has not been responded to by the organisers of the event. Surely the Sani is no longer a husband and wife organization and do not need to wait for Glen Haw to return to the race office. The Cape Epic remains the bench mark.I suppose he has a right to not comment if he doesn't want too, or take his time, or do it instantly. He is smart enough to have weighed up his various options, he has more experience with running a successful MTB event than any of us. Agree with the lack of response or not.... but its his call. Edit: One thing is for sure though, no matter how this gets handled, there will be a disgruntled person somewhere.

I won't talk to the Sunday Times either. The sell bollie and people gobble it up. You think a simple post on the Hub will matter? Experience tells me it doesn't. Farmer Glen has integrity. He has proven it through what he has done COUNTLESS times. If he banned them, then there is a reason for him to have done so. And it is good reason.

The Cape Epic remains the bench mark.it passed that stage years ago, its a money making organization plane and simple, for any of those who have rode a few races its VERY CLEAR TO SEE,,,,im not saying it wasnt done with lots of time and money and effort, but as everyone thinks its funny that FG is not a cycling TYCOON,,,, I think its funny how everyone still thinks its a small concern pumping everything into the community, and its done for the love of the event,,,,yes he is passionate, yes he has done well,,,,make no mistake,, this is a business plane and simple Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/153158-sani2c-riders-banned-after-reporting-flasher/page/8/#findComment-2690207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
