River Rat Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 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 lolI have never seen an explicit explanation of the criteria they apply perhaps some of the old Munga riders can give their input. But imagine how this plays on your mind by day 4 you need to push yourself to the finish but you might get DQ'd anyway
River Rat Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 AVD back on course and no damage other than extra kms.
River Rat Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Interesting strategy for LVDN looks like he kipped for 2 hours at WP1, I suspect to get out of the heat and rather ride in the cooler evening. Will he pass through RV1?
MORNE Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 NC should fix his bike and sleep too... regroup and start his race afresh
MORNE Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 AVD back on course and no damage other than extra kms.in this case LM will get a penalty imo....especially if he finishes in front of AVD.
JohanDiv Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 We have a new leader! Everyone stops at WP2 with Ramses, Kevin Benky carries on past WP2!

He rejoined the route later.When he got to the check point at Britstown, he was informed that he would have to ride back to the point where he left the route and then back to Britstown on the correct route.
taito Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Bad memory,,,everyone going towards Cape Town Taito going towards Bloem. It seems that with the back markers Alex does allow a little flexibility with a time penalty added on.If it's a major short cut then DQ
Jewbacca Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Okes, it's day 1.... Micro watching 10 minute breaks over a 50 hour race is crazy!  Isn't it more fun to check every few hours and see the changes as opposed to click refresh waiting for the tracker to upload? Watch the last few hours. This 1st 20 hours is all just fluffing.
taito Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 It's lights on time,,,Hope everyone's light setups work.

Vetseun Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Eish...Bummer.Shows that the best are also human beings.It was brutal out there today looking at pics posted. Tomorrow can be worse.Opens the door for Benky and Im sure MM will be going for it.
