Here's a plan - POV & bike cameras uploading to tethered balloon relay stations, no brainer really what with all the tech going that is widely & cheaply available, they should get in contact with me next time.

 

That 2010 Stage 2 review, sigh, glory years, Burry was still with us. RIP. Bart is the dude who co-comments with Rob-ou on the UCI Redbull Media UCI WC show stream, He said he might be doing it this year with Yo!anda;s dad, but i don see them on the list. Bit of a dearth of XC top dawgs it seems this time, I think they generally focus of their training for WC events doing something like the Epic distracts them?  Once burnt, twice shy?

 

In my opinion the Epic has become over-commercialised, brands, corporates, celebs in ur face, but that's much like the rest of SA, where there is a buck to be made it will be.

yup the constant Michael Mol types being paraded as the ultimate in everyman marathon racing is a bit tiresome. Show us some real people for a change. These okes are limelight whores seeking attention at every opportunity.

I agree, far far to many 'hangers-on' not really adding much value, its a flat out bike race dammit, its a photographers dream, dont show me poser pics

 

#8daysofcourage - WTF, yes its hard, if you go hard, that's the whole point! If you spend R70k to rock up unfit, then dont call that courage - call that stupidity

 

Ok I think I should go now, enough ranting

WTF, that is like 26km, I assume they did not even finish stage 1 in time ?

Well, both these teams did not make it today, but then we all knew that was going to happen. At least they will be out of your mind for the rest of the race.

 

The individual finishers and non-finishers list has grown proper long.  As is the tradition now for the ACE after Stage 1.

Can you believe this ****! Wanted to comment earlier that the scene at the Epic village was a sorry scene and now the broadcast issue. Turning into a true African show
