Serious Panda Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Did anyone take the time to work out how much time Investec lost to punctures this Epic? And what tyres did they use? They probably used Sworks tyres to save weight. Scott used heavier Maxxis Aspens with sidewall protection - (Exo).
Meezo Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Did anyone take the time to work out how much time Investec lost to punctures this Epic? 8 minutes 7,5 seconds what would it matter, until i reckon day 4 or 5 Schurter was driving for both his teammate and the young guns team, had he been in with a shout earlier i reckon they would of gone harder... we can all say in retrospect, i don't think sauser was able to match the scott team, yes it may have change the race had they not puncture, whether they would of won, i don't think so! me though, i'm glad sauser didn't win, and sad bulls didn't, however Nino is a LEGEND

'Dale Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Did anyone take the time to work out how much time Investec lost to punctures this Epic? It cost them the race, I think All the chasing, surging, loss of tempo is enough to mess with the Sauser engineAs was evidentCertainly not good for morale

They all went over the same terrain, Investec just seemed to pick up a lot more issues.

Velouria Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Showboating.....I bet the organisers lapped it up. Untamed, tough etc. If you want a true hero look at Reuben van Niekerk. And every other rider with a day job. Seeing the emotion on the faces of my fellow mid-packers is difficult to describe. There were days when many of these riders didn't think they would get to the start of the stage, let alone the finish. And yet there they were - Epic finishers. Wearing that medal with pride. That's what makes this race so special.
Velouria Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I was rooting for him (actually his bar ends...) I counted 4 other bikes with bar ends, including my own. We've clearly got a way to go to bring them back!

L46 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Don't think you really can compare times.. the ladies start in their own batch and have their own tactics. Remember her partner is one of the most experienced riders out there and his guidance would've really helped her.. as she is only 22[emoji33] One day maybe but I think for now she has to focus only the xco.. may things still to achieve in her xco career. Not sure if you can compare the times like this but if Rissveds can find a partner for the woman's gategory she can win , Her mixed Overall time at 31.27min and the Winning Time of the elite ladies 31.39min. I'll put money on a Rissveds/Langvad/Neff/Vos/Prevot combination any day.
FootballingCyclist Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 If you get the entry, don't be a hero, go for skills classes.We would much rather cheer you on than discuss your choice of stem length, tyres or suspension settings of you crash out on the prologue.LOL I do intend on getting a PROPER coach(Already had a chat with a VERY GOOD rider and coach) and just finishing the race at the end even if in last place, I couldn't care less, I just want to last all stages and get the medal at the end. Hopefully the coach will get me on the right path to being able to complete my 1st 1 at my 1st attempt.
