Cape Epic 2019

Was there on Helderberg today on that section where Forster fell on that berm. Fumic also purchased some real estate there. Dammit, but Nino was taking those switching berms like a boss, even manualling the first little bump, and tail-whipping the last jump.

How is that rider who Mariska collided with, not even a "hey are you okay"..he just got on his bike and rode away.[emoji107]

Can tell you that Mariske is one strong lioness. She will get up, not dust herself off as it's just dust and keep on going.

Yup really nice of Scott to not contest the sprint. I think they realize that the Pyga guys helped them put a lot of additional time into Cannondale - Buys did most of the hard work on the front if I'm reading the live comments correctly.

TT stage 4 they chilled (relatively) 47th on GC, 20 minutes back maybe saved some matches for today (and used them all up!)

(they were 23rd on GC at the time)

You remember that one stage where Buys was suffering up that one climb and Nino was wheeling up it?

And that’s another reason not to encourage team races....

Maybe you should consider joining Scott Sram as a tire consultant.

 

Am sure they would welcome your wealth of knowledge

What a special achievement

Last win by a SA duo was in 2015 or something, several editions back

 

Saw something now on Tweetiebird ????

Can’t remember the details

Never said it was his fault...her own fault, an unfortunate collision.

Looking at it again, I think that that dude (according to Mariske's FB post, Andrew McClean's partner) was already having his own little crash before Mariske came along. Possibly he realised that someone was approaching at speed, went offline, lost it and bang, two riders down. She definately never just rode into the back of him.

Mixing riders of differing abilities at GSpot is like newbie riders pitching up for A batch at the Argust. Not at all safe!

 

I'd agree that it looks like he moved off course into the A-line which caused some confusion/ panic. Probably should have stuck to the easy line and Mariske would have come sailing past.

 

I'm amazed that he managed to roll the gap jump. Probably takes more skills than clearing it! They really need to build this feature into Zwift   :ph34r:

 

These things happen. I hope both are fit to ride comfortably tomorrow.
