Paulst12 Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Didn't ride today, sorry to dissapoint you.SA Champs??
CogitoErgoSum Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 When is Specialized going to realize their tyres are shiiite? Or more importantly, will Koolharvey throw his toys and tell them to wake up and start produce quality rubber and not import from chinese condom manufacturers? Marrot is definitely someone to watch for the future Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
Eldron Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Any idea how Jan did ? Jan was 70th with Stuart Marais 2 places behind.
Matchstix Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 The course is insane! 230m climbing and 4.2 long. To put it in perspective for the capies. Contermans from the shed to the mast is 4.1km and 289m climbing(if I remember right)

Contermans from the shed to the mast is 4.1km and 289m climbing(if I remember right)To do 6 repeats of that in 1:30 is flippin insane. Essentially the same climbing in half the distance cos on conters you still have to go back down again.
Squier Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Jan was 70th with Stuart Marais 2 places behind.Can't help but wonder who would fund these guys. No disrespect intended, they're obviously class athletes, but that's a very expensive trip for a sponsor with virtually zero exposure. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
Matchstix Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 So the race excluding start loop was 1380m in 25.2km

the nerd Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Is the course the same length for the U23 as it is for the elites? I ask this as if they are, the U23 women would have smashed the Elites by a country mile! Kate Courtney U23 1:12:45 Annika LANGVAD 1:28:45

Way better than the thin sidewalls control casing tyres. But they don't....

Sent from my LG-H815 using TapatalkI don't about about Stuart but Jan did it the hard way - scrounged for product sponsors in SA but is mostly self funded.
