Clearly the Epic is not that popular anymore.....

 

........... or internationals are desperate for the 100 discounted entries

 

9 seconds..... 6.7 million Ronds

I think there will be a couple entries up for sale when the training have to get tougher and harder..

Judging by how many "celebs" rode this year, I am suprised any entries are actually "sold sold".

 

Seems all you need to do these days to get into the Epic is to have one good drop goal, cheaper than an entry if you ask me....

Good point, what about those riders who are not even celebs and get a corporate sponsorship...for example those riders who get a complete corporate package (entry, kit, mechanics, massage, etc....) ABSA for example? 

 

I wonder if they (ABSA) pay for those entries at the going rate or get a discount or even worse for nothing because they are sponsors ?

And to add to all these questions, why not allow gps tracking due to the live tracking available on the epic website for all to see and capture.

They would most definately get entries in exchange for sponsorships, the value exchange makes sense.

 

If I swop something that cost me R20k but retails for R60k for something that you sell for R60k that only costs you R20k we both get something worth R60k for R20k. I understand ABSA/Dimension Data etc getting a few entries that they can give their top clients/partner/staff.

 

Its the semi local celebs (local celeb being an oxymoron) that get their entries sponsored for them that I dont get.

This plus the contigent of ex Goeie More Suid Afrikaaaaaa guests add to the allure of this spectacle that we call .................. The ABSA Cape Epic, duh dan dan dan daaaahhhh.

 

How many okes can now simply call out at their new 'tjomma", hey "Slugger" or "lekker Jono" next time they see these rugby boys at Kingsmead. Shame how many wives have had to hear the following in the last few days. "You know babes, these exbokke are actually just like me and the ouens, lekker okes, could be one of my chinas, skim I should give Gary a call and tune him to come for a braai during one of the T20s".

 

The only celebs that I would like to see doing the Epic is Riaan Cruywagen and Julius Malema and they must be on the same team.

You could start a whole new thread on that - Name the ultimate Eric Celeb Team
