Long Wheel Base Posted March 24, 2017 Share This can only work of the Epic moves to a different date..not to clash with the classics No ways Sagan will be free to ride the Epic for at least 6 year or unless he gets sick of it all and retires early or they move the dates to accommodate him[emoji23] [emoji23]This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted March 24, 2017 Share Interesting to hear your opinions ? If this was an individual race , how much time Shurter would put into them in his current form ?Nino and Coolharvey seem to be the stronget two out there by a way. Hard to tell who'd be ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CogitoErgoSum Posted March 24, 2017 Share Is there a list of names for the outcast riders? Would be interesting to see the "official" list of them going at it alone, who is finishing where and by how much of the pace.

Lone_Ranger Posted March 24, 2017 Share Nope, Rockshox is a product of SRAM, Personal preference I believe. Saw it at the Olympics where even Kulhavy used the SID WorldCup instead of the RS-1My bad. Forgot that SRAM was one of their title sponsors now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted March 24, 2017 Share This [emoji106]You know Sagan spent a bit of time with the Spez xco riders training before the Olympics..(with Sauser overseeing their training) So Sagan knows them now.. who knows maybe the A batch/masters field will one day be the most competitive field with all these retired roadies coming to mtb.

Shebeen Posted March 24, 2017 Share so with the final day expected to be a bit of a bunfight for a stage win but the contenders makring each other, stage 6 is where it is at! that is a LOT of climbing, and even if there is no break up GLB, there will be some serious leg stretching. men - all to play for between scott/spaz with just 50 seconds between themCannondale would have to do a lot wrong to lose 3rd. women - 90% certainty of the final podium order being meerendal/ascendis/omx mixed - 95% certainty of the final podium order being scott/valencia/RBI masters - 99% certainty of the final podium being orbea/CST/BMC...but one of the second two could take it with a solid stage 6. grand masters - meerendal 99% certain of winning it. the rest are waaay back exxaro - well done diepslootafrican - pyga looking good, 15min buffer on NAD is surely enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw it at the Olympics where even Kulhavy used the SID WorldCup instead of the RS-1 Christoph Sauser:The biggest improvement since my last Cape Epic in 2015 is using the Rockshox SID fork instead of the RS-1. The SID is stiffer and it's much quicker to change a wheel. A lot of the marathon guys are still on the RS-1, but I made that decision for our team and I had to push hard for it. http://www.cyclingnews.com/blogs/author/christoph-sauser-why-should-we-hold-back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the open roads on Thursday, Jaro and I will wear skinsuits. We wear them when it's windy and fast, but not aero helmets. It's too hot for that. But seeing Jaro in a full skinsuit riding next to Cannondale in their baggies just doesn't look right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
