Great UCI XC racing this past weekend, one thing I do not understand is why Allen Hartherly not racing under 23's?

He will do much better there than what he is currently in the Elite race! 

I know he is trying his best to stick to  top guns but face it, his age category will suite him much better.

At least he would have gotten the chance to win a World cup series in under 23.

Every time he races with UCI elites, he manages to stay in touch for few laps then drops back due to high pace.

Then when he has matured enough or progressed to be able to race at that level we will be supporting him.

Great to see him trying his best!!!

Feeling sick

He's team reply was he has been sick whole weekend, and high pace put him in the red and could not recover, and decided to pull out. Not wanting to hurt his system.

Alan looked sharp at the short course on Friday as well in the first moments.

Then I looked for him a bit later and couldn't find him.

Alan turned 23 shortly before the Cape Epic. According to UCI rules you have to be 22 on December 31 to be eligible to race U23 (under 23). the year you turn 23 is your first year as an Elite

Kate didn't perform at all well and that klapped my Fantasy league score a bit. Still ahead of DnD though. Whew. 

 

 

 

maybe you had a headstart....?

Is DnD even in the same race as Headshot?

Not sure if this has been brought up, but are there not too many starters? Looked like over a hundred?

What’s the limit?

The few WCups and Worlds XCO events I’ve been to always have over a 100, especially the men’s
