So kremetart cancelled now...no title sponsor. Seems to be a trend this year.....first argus then letape and now kremetart..

I thought ASG stepped in?

Some were very vocal about what they perceive to be a negative influence ASG has on events.

Perhaps that got them thinking why do they even bother.

Just got an email from ASG saying that there is a high demand for jock entries due to the cancellation of the kremetart. So that confirms it, Cancelled. Sad thing is it will probably never come back. Seems there where just too many people not prepared to pay R950. 

Is there anyone here that did enter? Did you get a refund?

Sadly I don't believe a word that comes out of the cyclist screwing events company.

If there was a "high demand" the entries would have been full already.

800 is not much.

If you really want to think conspiracy you might consider that there was actually a high demand for the Kremetart but that company allowed the race to fold to create a bigger market for the Jock

Jock entry is less so they would have made more from the tart. Unless tart logistics costs a lot more. But I like your theory and wouldn't put it passed them.

Grapevine from my LBS is that the Kremertart might be returning next year.

Marketing trick, trying to get us to "panic buy"

Lets hope. And lets hope not with ASG.

To be fair, they are not the only ones who do this. What really sucks if you think "he he, marketing trick" and then on the day you want to enter - "oops - sold out, but we did warn you many times!"
