River Rat Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 is it against the rules to get a text or call that you are WAAAAYYYYY off course?not that i assume there is any signal in any case. How would the race organisers know? just asking for real. talking about LM in this instance edit: AND - do they have to backtrack and get back on course where they left? in LM's case they are actually going the long way assuming they take a left in the not to distant future. AVD now too it seems.That's exactly what they have to do and if memory serves Hannele Steyn went 75km off course in the first Munga and went back adding 150km to her event, I think she only finished less than 4 hours behind the eventual winner Amy McDougall. The good news is that LM has realised that he is off course but now he is going to have to go backwards on the route and that could be a problem too.
River Rat Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 AVD is making the same mistake as LM, I bet you that he's following LM's tyre tracks and not his GPS.
Vetseun Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Piet Laubser has gone crashing down the leaderboard.Was top 10 now he is sitting at 96km.
JohanDiv Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Ramses has been standing still at 156km for the last 10min or so. Kevin still moving, 5km behind him
MORNE Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Ramses has been standing still at 156km for the last 10min or so. Kevin still moving, 5km behind himyea was just wondering...hes at what/whomever Ambo4 is.
River Rat Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Ramses has been standing still at 156km for the last 10min or so. Kevin still moving, 5km behind him No need to panic his Tracker has not updated for 11 minutes although it did show him stationary so watch this space.
JohanDiv Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 yea was just wondering...hes at what/whomever Ambo4 is.Ambo is short for ambulance.. or does it have a different meaning in The Munga?
River Rat Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Ramses is moving again..Yip but he did stop for about 10 minutes.
Vetseun Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 MM is closing in on Benky by the looks of things
JohanDiv Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 MM is closing in on Benky by the looks of thingsAnd hot on Marcos wheel is Sithembiso Masango!!
River Rat Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 LM is at the crossroads literally and figuratively does he go back along the route to where he left it (+15km) or continue and face the wrath of the organisers. edit: it's the latter I hope they're kind to him.
MORNE Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 so assuming LM is getting a DQ then? he continued on the normal route after rejoining.
River Rat Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 so assuming LM is getting a DQ then? he continued on the normal route after rejoining.In the past the organisers have exercised an element of leeway with the back markers, in his case he gained no advantage but we'll have to wait and see.
JohanDiv Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Ramses pulling in for a breather at WP2!! Wonder if Benky and co will carry on
MORNE Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 In the past the organisers have exercised an element of leeway with the back markers, in his case he gained no advantage but we'll have to wait and see.i can only imagine them being kind if the detour was in fact longer AND harder ito elevation gain etc? a massive downhill detour might just be what the doctor ordered in some scenarios lol
