Why no women road announcement... this is a good course for Ash. But is anyone able to support her... If you ain't racing in Europe (currently) against the worlds best then NO is my opinion.

 

Congrats Louis and Daryl!

So that I understand correctly. Are we sending 2 riders and expecting to compete?

Much like Worlds each country is allocated places by the number of UCI points it's riders have accumulated in various UCI events. SA have enough points to send two riders. That's how it is. Nothing to do with our governing sporting bodies.

What's the issue.. Sagan won worlds and they were only 3 Slovakians [emoji6]

 

MEINTJES must be smart and pretend he is Spanish. . And hop on their train.

dont know these guys, only know of Darryl due to his day in yellow. Maybe we should only send people in events we think we can get a medal in.

 

So send no one.....money saved.

Maybe they shou;ld have sent Reinhardt instead of Louise .

Apparently it is a course suited to a sprinter .

Reinhardt and Daryl can cause a surprise if it is a flatish circuit .

Perhaps you are confused with the world champs course.. RIO is not at all suited for the sprinters

That is one mean race route! A 100% hit on the pain & suffering index! Will be interesting to see which of the serious climbers will have form going into Rio. One thing is sure only a climber is going to win this.
