milky4130 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Yes they are not on the brink of bankruptcy but they are also not limiting team entries either so why not just open the flood gates to solo category & bank the change?Only 1 podium cat per solo rider please i.e. Male & female respectively, thanks.
milky4130 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 We've seen in the past it only takes an article like this to be written & for it to go viral for the Epic to change the "rules".Not too long ago Gun Rita asked for a separate ladies catergory, some Hubber's nearly gave birth at such a ludicrous request & look what happened the following year. So don't be surprised if you do see that Solo category in the near future.
Heel Drop Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 there is no I in TEAM or there is no 2 in solo or call it the IPEC

BrandonF_ Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Â there is no I in TEAM or there is no 2 in solo or call it the IPEC????????????
Mamil Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I think to finish an event like this as part of a team must be an amazing feeling and i would hazard a guess more fulfilling than doing so alone. And to have a S.O. do it with you could be incredible ..... or terrible i'm sure. That's the most interesting part of the OP to me, what happens between the people who make the finish and those that don't.
coppi Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I don't see how it would be dummed down making it a solo event. Tdf is Solo?  I would rather. Say stop calling it the un tamed African race. . (it's too hot let's make a stage shorter)Tdf is NOT solo, what race are you watching?  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mamil Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Maybe we're all so used to loudly protesting that what an authority does is wrong-headed that we just generalise this approach to all things?   Why did the opening poster leave this article here?How did a simple question from the author become a contentious matter?#snaaks
BigDL Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 As far as I know the business model of the epic is to have x amount of people drop out at certain days. Less food etc.Now 2 team on th basis of safety.There were a couple of items you had to carry with you back in the day. These things were. Compulsary and if you did not have them could be DQ'd.Never saw that any of the top guys carry them?Are you seriously saying that their business model relies on people dropping out?
BigDL Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 YesSo their margin is the meals and costs of the dropouts? Seems a lot of effort to make your money on 120 team meals not being eaten.
