milky4130 Posted December 1, 2017 Share kannieverstaannie RV2 is Transkaroo Country Lodge in BritstownNow i never been there, but this is not a big dorpie. Apart from the legendary NGK lentebal this is the biggest annual event in town. It was 7:30am. it really can't have been that hard to find.Also why would you even want to you miss an RV...you get food and water there, did he even look for it? edit - looking at timestamps, he took 5 minutes to get through Britstown - the penalty is his own fault.Yeah i cant think he would've deliberatly wanted to miss it, but as we mentioned last night already, Sleep Deprivation & Dehydration was probably the main reason. Maybe he was sleep riding for that very 5mins he hit that tiny little town & by the time he woke up from the slumber he was out the other side of the town, looking at the map its literally only a couple of streets long.

Rocket-Boy Posted December 1, 2017 Share has MM been going without rest since yesterday? I have not been able to watch constantly but he doesnt seem to have stopped a lot. Wonder if he will be able to hold out or if the sleep monsters will get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted December 1, 2017 Share I am not implying any of such... Just asking Sent from my SM-G925F using TapatalkPerhaps they stop being development riders once they have a pro contract?

shaper Posted December 1, 2017 Share I am not implying any of such... Just asking Sent from my SM-G925F using TapatalkSlightly cynical I know.... but maybe has to do with better chance of prize money? Provided that none of the Rules have been contravened, the rider that wins the Race in their respective category i.e. the first male, female or development rider to cross the finish line shall each receive ZAR40,000 (forty thousand South African Rand) in prize money.

Dusty Posted December 1, 2017 Share Not mocking Martin at all, i'm a huge fan of changealife.Just saying it's odd that no one else has ever entered, and it's not like there aren't any exxaro or Absa diepsloot etc etc guys who could go for it. There isn't an official cat on the leaderboard, but it currently looks like they won't even fill the podium spots in this division.Laz Mashishi is a development rider and not part of an academy. He's just at about the 500km mark. Top guy and this is his first race of any sort. Shebeen, Gen, eddy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost impossible to miss a RV (check point) or WP. There is not one RV on the route where you need to turn off to get to it, you ride past every single one of them. Only two WP's you need to "get off" the route and back on again. The first and second WP's as you head down into the Tankwa. They are clearly marked with way points on your GPS, and all manner of banners and what not, at the entrance. The same with the RV's. johannrissik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
