Andrew Steer Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Best update of the day.. As always, Grand Masters leader Heinz Zoerweg crosses the line and immediately enjoys a beerAndrew McLean says he's an absolute beast, they road together I think 3/4 years back, he can't speak English, basically had three basic words to say all race on the bike to Andrew... just machined on, no complaints, no questions - just endless hurtlocker for all his competitors Must be the finish line beer
Andrew Steer Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 In other news Evans and Hincapie won the masters stage today..think it may have been a sprint finish. Their participation in the Epic sure has brought a lot of international interest to the race..even saw a cyclingnews article.Hope they are getting tested 46 times a day
Gen Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Just think about all the bragging rights. Won the TDF and the Epic....[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] .. But Brentjes is another beast.. they won't get another inch from him this week. I had to laugh at Evans when he was explaining why they lost time the other day..not just because Hincapie bonked..but they had a sidewall cut and it seems as if they were a bit clueless on how to fix it and that cost them extra time.
Gen Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Hope they are getting tested 46 times a day [emoji23] [emoji23] Ja we all do

sias Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Thinking of this day one debacle.I actually think it's a good idea for Epic to make the first day a tough as hell.That way all these corporate fattys who use their influence to get entries end up missing the cut and getting put in their place.So day 1 is basically your qualifying round I was watching the prologue and couldn't figure out how k@k your preparation had to be, for you to start pushing your bike in the first 20km of a 7 day stage race... Surely you will NOT survive when the going gets really tough?
Gen Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 ha ha ha, yip there is no Mechanic to do it for them.Lol Spoilt roadies [emoji6] They do however seem to be having a jol..I think Evans maybe more than Hincapie.[emoji6]

@grootlem Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Spitz and de Groot riding betterder and betterder
Andrew Steer Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Lol Spoilt roadies [emoji6] They do however seem to be having a jol..I think Evans maybe more than Hincapie.[emoji6] Winning a couple Mtb World Cups might have something to do with it... All big George's technical skills come in a camper van shortly after motoman visits Gen, have you started a petition for Sagan to come ride the Epic next year and skip those silly Spring Classics...
Long Wheel Base Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Who is rider 141-2? Sitting 22nd overall. Name sounds familiar. Trying to remember where I know the name from. O wait, he was bust for drugs. I thought this race had some strict zero tolerance rule???? Correct me if am wrong.
jugheaddave Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 I expected spur ladies to be doing better. Maybe Ariane is only good when Anikka is pulling her, or she is just having a bad few days...

Gen Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Spitz and de Groot riding betterder and betterderIt is unfortunate that Spitz had that bad fall.
Andrew Steer Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 I expected spur ladies to be doing better. Maybe Ariane is only good when Anikka is pulling her, or she is just having a bad few days...Ariane hasn't been herself for a while... hopefully she bounces back soon. Might just need a break, think there has been a fair bit going on off the bike too distraction wise. Bloody classy athlete, I am sure she will be back.
Epic Rookie Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Who is rider 141-2? Sitting 22nd overall. Name sounds familiar. Trying to remember where I know the name from. O wait, he was bust for drugs. I thought this race had some strict zero tolerance rule???? Correct me if am wrong.Depends when he was bust? If it was before Kev made the ruling it's fine, only riders bust subsequently are banned for life.
