Absa Cape Epic 2017

[Nibali]

I reckon it would have been pretty even between Kulharvey & Schurter, given Kulharvey's climbing and pacing abilities. Nino maybe pulling away on the punchier climbs, and def pulling away on the singletrack

 

You say that, but Nino would only put in seconds on the single track. On a long climb and on the proper flats Coolharvey can put minutes into Nino. Will be awesome to see them go head-to-head though.

nah! remember the london olympics' punchy climb.

London was in 2012..Nino's climbing ability on the longer climbs which was his "weakness" has improved a whole lot..just ask Absalon and Kulhavy [emoji6]

I reckon their climbing abilities are about equal, now, tbh. 3 or 4 years ago - it would have been a different proposition.

Days... 

But maybe not that far in front of Kulhavy, think is was held back a little 

 

Edit: ok see most have the same thoughts ;-)

I see a David George in 17th place, overall. Am I being doff or is this the same oke that admitted doing EPO? If so what happened to no druggies at Epic?

hahah relax.

 

Nino is also 5 years older with literally no hair left somehow I remember something about anabolics and hair-loss.

Absalon is also at the end of his 30th year as a professional racer.

Worldtour race @VoltaCatalunya shortened by 60km due ro snow. See some locals complained that @CapeEpic was shortened due to high heat?

Come on okes.  The no drugs rule had a start date. His drug effort was before that... This comment is really getting tired after 5 days!

Was discussed a few days ago. The ban story was put in place after he was bust. But, yes its the same tjop that was(is?) doping.

I'm going with Sauser/Kulhavy for the overall 

[BaGearA]

Just throwing this out there . 2019 Cape epic 

 

Nino/Jaroslav

 

 

 

Just imagine that real quick 

[Underachiever]

I'm going with Sauser/Kulhavy for the overall 

only 50 sec difference after nearly a week.  For a road stage race, the difference is small.  For a MTB stage race that is insanely small.

 

Super exciting!!!

Cadel and George is getting faster as the race goes on. I didn't know that Purito was also riding.
