The Bull Shark Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 It's a race. She has hers and he has his. We can't see that he was slower. We can see that he lost control and fell onto her. I would assume that since he's racing in A batch that he wouldn't be considered "a slower rider" in this case. Maybe a less technically competent one. And how is she supposed to gauge this? Stop and ask him if he wants to go for a breakfast chat? Experience, which she has in spades.
DieselnDust Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Experience, which she has in spades. right experience and a bit of telepathy to read his mind too? Its pretty clear that she starts to take avoiding action when she does realise that Mr Panda is having a moment. There just isn't space to do anything about it.
SwissVan Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 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 These things happen. I hope both are fit to ride comfortably tomorrow. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvT9a25n7R0/While it’s not cool for the guy to just ride off... neither are her comments on instagram That’s a risk u take passing someone under those circumstances
cadenceblur Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 While it’s not cool for the guy to just ride off... neither are her comments on instagram That’s a risk u take passing someone under those circumstancesHave to agree there
Jaco-fiets Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Wonder if Kross worked an escape clause into Arianne's contract.......
Pure Savage Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Regardless of whose fault it was or wasn’t, he didn’t have to be a complete box and Jump on his bike and ride off without checking if the person he fell into and caused to crash was ok. Knob

Knob That i agree with wholeheartedly. Being friendly to your fellow racer always comes first. Tomorrow the other rider may return the favour when you are stuck with a technical.
FarmerMTB Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Wat se Andrew van die voorval of is dit maar net weer n Chris Willimse take-over?
HDW Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 While it’s not cool for the guy to just ride off... neither are her comments on instagram That’s a risk u take passing someone under those circumstancesIts awesome how she shows her real character on Instagram.
HDW Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Firstly, yes its polite to stop and ask if she is ok. Is he wrong in not doing it? No, its not nice but thats life. Secondly, are we all going to pretend that the pro riders in SA has, in general, any decency to other riders on a course? They will often, eg when different race distances merge or cross, pass slower riders at the speed of light, be rude, shout and swear and in general just claim the trail. So no, I dont feel sorry for her. Thats how they race and these kind off things will happen. The end
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 So many layers ???? Men can do more to more to support women in cycling, in society. Here was an opportunity.???? CycleLab seems to have a questionable reputation????

There was a trip in cyclelab kit who got in the way of the ladies race earlier in the week. I could have been stage 2. They were crossing rail tracks and he just merrily blocked the trail as he clumsily remounted leaving the chasing ladies to wonder if their luck would ever turn

LeoKnight Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Its awesome how she shows her real character on Instagram. Well on the second post she do mention that he came to check in on her. I can just assume both were very tired at that stage ...
