Now you sounding like a politician !!!!

Waiting for the vitriol...........but ladies winners are both in their 40s.

 

Where is the next generation?

Earning a living riding xco/road

Before I enter the Epic, I first want to do the W2W. My boss said he will pay for my entry. Problem is that only entries open for the Ride. None left for the Race or Adventure. Is the Ride worth the effort?

You do know that it's the exact same thing right?

Nope, but now I get it. So how come the other 2 are sold out, and not the Ride?

Everything is becoming faster with the Epic, faster races, faster early bird take up, and now the Epic 2018 thread has started 6 months earlier than the 2017 Epic one.

Sure?

Well trying to earn a living xco and or road .. I am not speaking about our local.women speaking about Europeans

 

Xco is an Olympic sport marathon is not, I reckon that's where their priority is.

Next Olympics is a couple of years away, hence Shurter & co were here. Not sure why only 5 of the top 50 women on the UCI Marathon World rankings competed. Very attractive prize money on offer.

Already bought the new Scott spark? Now that would be interest stats, year-on-year the bike brands that is being used for the Epic and tires selections, and how / if it changes 

[V12man]

It's about time. This way you get fewer corporate posers that push their bikes in the Prologue already, or don't make Stage 1. Give the entries to those that have a greater chance to actually make it.

 

In Surfski, one have to qualify to do either the PE-EL race, or the Cape Point Challenge.

 

I will support this, even if I myself will have to work hard to qualify.

problem is that pre qualifying is just a.money making racket - given the qualifiers will be part of the series and international based only most likely... going to take BIG pockets to fund an epic if they do that... so perhaps more corporate fat cats... not less...

Different objectives.. suppose...costly to come out here hey.. the women don't have the sweat sponsorship deals Schurter/ Scott team have.
