While I have been mostly impressed with the organisation I do have a major gripe.

There is no water handed out to rides at the water points, meaning unsupported

riders have to stop or dehydrate. And stopping is not really an option if you are 

racing. 

Yeah, had that last year. Just had to beg from those with support crews and buy them beer after stage.

wow. race stopped.

 

I mean wind speeds in excess of 50km/hr.

 

What were the winds in the dubai race?

"There was just too much wind to race safely and we would have taken a huge risk even trying,” Vegni explained to the media waiting for news at the stadium. “Weather forecasts expected another increase in the strength of the wind in the afternoon, with a wind at 35 knots, which is around 65km/h. Gusts were also likely and that would have been far too risky for the riders, and it could have caused a lot of crashes.

 

At the #togh they already pondered whether to not start, but started and then after the first crash they stopped the race. They might've been blown off Bains Kloof [emoji33]
