Thermophage Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 You are being bloody disrespectful to people that have spent months preparing for this. Physically, mentally as well as technically.As usual, you are TALKING a big game.lol dude...I'd be willing to bet half the okes riding don't know the in's n outs of setting up their suspension correctly. Even most of the "trail" riding okes I ride with don't know what the LCS or HSC does on their fork. Hell, I'm not even totally sure.Most of those okes have had their bike setup by a shop and ride it that way because the shop set it up like that, NOT because that is the best setup for their personal riding style.If pointing out that someone is deficiencies or mistakes is disrespectful ... eish then what kind of a world are we living in where progress will be slow to non-existent
Pure Savage Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 It sounds like someone got an earful, my tweet was at 12:13 12:21Suss's 11th stage win in the Absa Cape Epic 12:20Suss/Stenerhag (Meerendal CBC) take the stage 12:19Chopper overhead again as the leading women head for the Hermanus High School finish 12:17Jeez, the vagaries of MTB. Sauser/Kulhavy looked poised to strike when the latter got a puncture and crashed. Spitz/De Groot looked set for a dominant performance after their Prologue win ... and then Spitz crashed 12:16Suss and Stenerhag on they way into the orange jerseys 12:14We're hearing that Spitz had a big crash - on rocks and then down a bank
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 12:03Matthias Stirnemann in the ice bath. Much-needed after loads of heat on the course Stirneman's fall in the sand is just super unlucky. Bloody difficult to save a front wheel washout if the sand is unexpected and you're going that fast.
@grootlem Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Stenerhag/ Suss in. Did anyone else pick them for GC?

worriesnot Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Apparently Rissveds is out of Epic. Heat issues? Must be tough for EU riders coming out of Winter to race in the dry and hot Cape. Shame.
Epic Rookie Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 In the interview before the race she was saying how she had stayed in Europe while the rest of the team came here to train, might have made a difference after all?
gummibear Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Heat issues? Must be tough for EU riders coming out of Winter to race in the dry and hot Cape. Shame.Mate of mine is doing IMSA and he trains on the idt in his bathroom. Turns the heating up to 30deg to try and get used to the heat for race day.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Apparently Rissveds is out of Epic. NOOOOO!!!!
PhilipV Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Apparently ladies are heading to finish. Suss & co still leading. Spitz has crashed twice. First one that says she needs more skillzzz gets a 30 day ban.Well I know that Stenerhag (spelling?) worked with Joanna Dobinson to improve her skillzzzz.
Odinson Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Any news on Team Spur? Word on the trail is they stopped for a Cheddamelt. Lost a few mintues there.
