There is no mention of OOB in either the current narrative or the Race Booklet, so that is not an issue in my opinion.

The issue is whether the riders gained a time advantage, for which they should be penalised (whoever they are). Failing to penalise transgressions sets a precedent.

It's not an easy call.

 

The area in question was not specified as an 'out of bounds' area. No time advantage was gained, it actually took them 40min longer going that way than the other riders in their batch.

This was not a case of an intentional shortcut to gain an advantage, rather it was a case of riders getting lost and wasting time - therefore no time penalty was given.

Thank you.

Am I correct in saying Floris Botha needs to be in at Rhodes Thursday morning before 06:00am ?

 

Dirt-rider I am busy working out exactly the same thing.  I also get Thursday before 6am.

I think that is the last time they will see Martin until Diemers .

not necessarily. I think Martin will stop when he needs to, and Alex might not be far behind when he does

which one (RTR 2016 or RASA 2012)?!

 

RASA 2012.  For RTR 2016 he was half an hour slower than that, so an hour quicker this year!!  Amazing speed!  

 

Wonder how long he can keep up that pace?
