Frosty Posted January 19, 2017 Share http://results.racetec.co.za/calendar.aspx?R=1&CFE=1&DSP=7 Your event is not listed on here yet, but nor is Amashova and a host of others. I have spoken to Irvin from CTCT office and he says that the complete list of seeded events will be published shortly. If you have received confirmation of your event being a seeded event, it will show on the list. Could be that this list is from the events that have submitted applications to Racetec to do the timing. Our event will be added to Racetec, once we complete the application to Cycle Events (who manage the Racetec application). We have only applied to CyclingSA for a date on the calendar, and of course to the CTCT for the Premier seeding event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are small races weeks before the Argus that are used for 100% of people's seeding. Its not on their website, but thats what happens in real life.

Pure Savage Posted January 19, 2017 Share Noob question, please don't flame me.....will there be licenced groups this year? Hoping to avoid the carnage from last year. At this stage, only licenced UCI group will be elite men and ladies. So no U16 in the elites etc It actually really depends on who rocks up, if there are world tour riders riding, then there are some different UCI rules.

Skubarra Posted January 19, 2017 Share There are small races weeks before the Argus that are used for 100% of people's seeding. Its not on their website, but thats what happens in real life. Yes when PPA replaced the 3 small races for a full seeding with a 100% seeding on any event the "Official Seeding Event" tag became essentially worthless. Maybe that is why they introduced this 5 penalty on the smaller event results for the CTCT seeding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It best represents your current form and seeding ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The West Coast express have a penalty of 5 on my CTCT seeding but not on my PPA seeding - just more than a month ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babse Posted January 19, 2017 Share QElite ages riders can only get into the $ group or the seeded groups right? ie my 5 index wont be good enough for $ so will then get me into first seeded group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karman de Lange Posted January 19, 2017 Share Its only for events that are older than 3 months. It best represents your current form and seeding ability. officially all non "official" events get 5 penalty Think if you have 0 "official" events they use your last ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted January 19, 2017 Share officially all non "official" events get 5 penalty Think if you have 0 "official" events they use your last ones I had all the WC official ones and they used a PPA race for me seeding. Maybe its just luck of the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubarra Posted January 19, 2017 Share It was less than 80km. Tour de PPA (110km) got a penalty of 11 on my CTCT seeding and a penalty of 6 on my PPA seeding So I'm sticking with the extra 5 penalty for non-official events theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouxenator Posted January 19, 2017 Share Tour de PPA? More like Tour de Wind. I did that once in 2013 - never again. LeoKnight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballingCyclist Posted January 19, 2017 Share So I kinda enjoy these sling bags as it's less of a mission to carry than the over the shouler type bags, Keeps my hands free to be able to have a drink or a nibble whilst walking about looking at the bikes I cannot afford. Anyone else prefer these over the green "shopping bags"?? Oh btw, This is this years Cycle Tour Bag Edited January 19, 2017 by FootballingCyclist Belgian biker, Cadre and Long Wheel Base 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
