Eddie Stafford Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Graham and JT arrived at GE at about 01:30. Getting ready to leave. We are expecting Arno and Alex any moment now. Thank you very much. Looks like JT has a few hours sleep. Arno is going slower than expected, wonder why? Great of you to keep us updated!

TrailWarrior Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Wondering whats up with Scott James tracker? Masakala at just before 9pm last night.... and no update thereafter.Has he moved on after Marty or just catching some extended shut eye with tracker off?

TrailWarrior Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Scott James pulled out at Masakala last night.Bummer!
novice forever Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Think he might go a bit more defensive this time as he payed for that under two days into Rhodes with a bit of hard struggle the days after. Unless he wants to redo the Trigger Alex to chase to blow him to bits early again. But then this year there are a few Alex harris clones running spare around I think Martin is looking at the record rather than focussing on the other riders. TrailWarrior 1

Who knows...if the universe transpires.... maybe next year.
Jewbacca Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 I think Martin is looking at the record rather than focussing on the other riders. Agreed. I think he is sub 10 days or bust. The other guys must just get through their races with their plans... attrition is a very real thing on a 10-13 day race novice forever and TrailWarrior 2
Shebeen Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Think he might go a bit more defensive this time as he payed for that under two days into Rhodes with a bit of hard struggle the days after. Unless he wants to redo the Trigger Alex to chase to blow him to bits early again. But then this year there are a few Alex harris clones running spare around There was talk that Martin had been sick for 2 weeks with flu,...... that only 2 days before the start he thought he still had 3 days. I think you can take a pinch of salt with that talk. He is a wily old fox, and there will no doubt be denials of it but he is well known for playing mindgames to gain a little edge. (if i remember correctly) Alex went poof very early last time they had an FC duel, and Mart was already well up the road when he called it quits at Glen Edward. Tweet knows him from paddling and AR days and is probably the one who can avoid chasing him needlessly the most. He lives in maritzburg and will know this section the best, he could well be looking to put a bit of breathing space into the pack and it would be demoralizing putting these miles in to know that there's a guy further up the road making you look slow. Thing is if you break 10days, you should win the race. (if not then the winner really deserves it anyway). ****all total speculation, which is the divine right of the dot watcher**** Fish21, cat-i and TrailWarrior 3

The Crazy German Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Derrick Bingham having a bad day I would namechange to Pierre Oosthuizen to like this post. Apparently Derrick has form for this so should have looked for a reliable wheel to follow as many others have done before.
Dusty Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) A new fastest known time to Rhodes set in the early hours by Mr Dreyer. He got in at 3.43 am. Edited June 27, 2019 by Dusty TrailWarrior, grc, Farrnus and 3 others 6
TrailWarrior Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 Ol 'thunder bolt MD , looks like he just bled through Chesneywold in a blink at10.40am. What a machine! Just keeps going! A strong mind, a whole lotta courage and looks like stamina for days!!Doesn't get more hardcore than this!......
