Christoph Sauser returns from retirement to race the Absa Cape Epic with Kulhavý

If Schurter could be paired with a good rider then I think he would be one of my favorites. I think he is paired with a young Swiss

After watching Jeannie, I think Nino and Anneke, starting with the men. Hmmm...

Would like to see a more competitive woman's field like risvids and Neff..and maybe the Julian Absalon should come play with.

If he does, half the field would end up pregnant, even the guys.

If I see Sauser in the Epic, it always reminds me of Burry Stander and the golden years of the Epic.

 

When I see Sauser and CoolH even more so...I just can't see myself supporting anyone else.

 

Christmas came early!

[Robbie Stewart]

People don't retire like they used too.

 

Schumi, Matfield, Sauser...

 

I suppose this means we will see Rosberg, Massa and Button come 2018.

[MuddyMike]

This is great news. Epic 2017 is shaping up to be a cracker....

The Epic has a stupid race format, where is the yellow jersey category, the most important 1! 2 Man teams are lame

I would also like to see a 1 man format. Far more telling of capabilities than this 2 man crap

That will then come down to the team with the 6 strongest domestiques pacing their GC contender to a win. With the team setup it gets much harder to try and break away early with the B-team pacing you.

No, only allow solo vs solo. Yes, the issue is to police that. But it could be the same now by disallowing ANY support/assistance from a fellow rider. Goes against the ethos of sport I know but like in Xc you want to see the best rider emerge. Not the best well backed-up team

Make it more like the Tour de France but with smaller teams. It would be awesome to see Kulhavy riding as a team leader going for solo overall win.

The Epic rules is so full of crap they dont allow swapping a broken bike during a race, which is allowed in the TdF, but then they allow this pushing of another rider like in the photo, this would never be allowed in the TdF! Its lame.

So Sauser and Platt are both on 5 wins? I rate the only real reason why he would ride is to have the overall win crown all to himself again.

[Meezo]

platt gonna smoke him again!

 

can't wait
