I'm 36 with an index of 12.5 and got a & start group. Pretty sure I should be further back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted February 1, 2017 Share So what do you guys think is the age groups? ...............From my understanding, they seed the much older guys, in their 60s and 70s, in groups that are earlier than they would normally be purely on performance. This is to allow them more time to finish and afford them the advantage of cooler and less windy weather. From a health management point of view this makes sense. Fair or not? I think it is good, especially as some of these guys have done many tours. They also tend not to become involved in the race and just ride at their own pace, time trialing the whole thing. (Just to be clear on my interest here, the older Team DJR member is just shy of 79.) Wannabe and BrandonF_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted February 1, 2017 Share I don't really understand either. I'm 36 with an index of 12.5 and got a & start group. Pretty sure I should be further back They are going to reseed the & and @ groups into correct age group so that will be racing for age group win and not time as such, once they have filled up the $ group which is currently empty. Depending on who arrives to race in the elite bunch. Edited February 1, 2017 by Pure Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stricker Posted February 1, 2017 Share & and @ are seedings below 13.5all Good, the Million dollar question is ..... What do the winner of & and @ get?
