allez Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Notice from PPA We are thrilled to announce that the long route of the 2017 Tour de PPA (110 km) will count towards your 2018 Cape Town Cycle Tour seeding! Online entries for this league and funride on Sunday 26 February 2017 are still available until Monday 20 February. Limited late entries (at the late entry fee) will be available at the event. Why could this event not count towards Argus 2017.
carbon29er Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 How else do you get riders to ride the same roads funride after funride? Particularly that smelly section through the livestock farms?
Skubarra Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Why could this event not count towards Argus 2017. Maybe because the Argus 2017 seeding is already done?
allez Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Maybe because the Argus 2017 seeding is already done?yes, and that is my point. Why so early when there are still races left on the calendar.
Halfdoesyn Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 yes, and that is my point. Why so early when there are still races left on the calendar.Last race that looks like it counted toward the Argus seeding is last year's West Coast Express.
allez Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Last race that looks like it counted toward the Argus seeding is last year's West Coast Express.Hmmm, so all the races in January counts for nothing then.
Halfdoesyn Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Hmmm, so all the races in January counts for nothing then.Looks like it. Both the Bouckaert-Soenen and the 99er have been taken to do the PPA seeding, but been left out of the Argus seeding.
Skubarra Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 yes, and that is my point. Why so early when there are still races left on the calendar. I guess it is a balancing act between leaving it as late as possible to use the most up to date results and getting it out as early as possible for logistical reasons. And yes, that leaves us with official seeding races that take place too early to be particularly useful for the top half of the field, the time penalty probably would not affect the backmarkers much

Just need a start time. Two weeks before the event should be fine as well for this? Also if races dont count towards Stellenbosch tour or Cape Town tour, then less people will wanna do it?

LeoKnight Posted February 17, 2017 Author Posted February 17, 2017 35,000 numbers need to be printed and bundled perhaps? Sometimes there is a straight forward, common, practical answer to a question ..
