I guess Songo has got it in the bag.

 

Just wish they could move the finale to another place than Val De Vie. Really, there is just about no shade there for spectators. And it just do not have the same atmosphere as Lourensford. Even Boschendal would have been better.

But tomorrow is forecasted mostly cloudy with a maximum of 21 degrees.

Anyone know about the condition of the rider that was airlifted?

Not sure if its this one but David Garrett's team mate RV that took the nasty fall in the last downhill with 7 k to go should be OK, still in ICU but things should come good

Hectic. Hope he heals up soon.

i think it could have been avoided ....maybe the riders were just tired and did not react fast enough

Ja I also think Fumic was not concentrating and when Bishop drifted left into his vision, he skriked.

I see Spez running boost. Most of the others in the group, not so much.

Excuse the ignorance, but both the men and women GC as well as best African men’s team includes a member that didn’t actually prepare for the event.

 

Is this an indication of how prepared the professional MTB are in general or is this an anomaly or maybe even the norm?

My bad, only Langvad and the African jersey had late partner replacements, JK participated a splanned

Afaik, Kate actually knew quite well in advance she might be coming, so she trained for Epic.
