I think that all of us on this thread - on both sides of the fence - should just take hands, sing khumbaya, and cross the finish line of the Munga together in the selfless spirit of ubuntu.  :P

I am following 2 lady friends Aryna Edwards and Carien Visser . They are doing 4.5 kph now . What Pass/mountain are they on ? Pse help from someone that knows the route

I think they are outside Sutherland. Some horrible climbing and hectic wind. There is hard work up until the Ouberg Pass descent.

The funniest thing here is okes getting worked up about a race they are not participating in, have no financial stake in and let's face it, in the sporting world is an obscure event. Jeeezuz okes get a life.

In some sporting events a contrived tie is regarded as purposefully influencing the outcome of a race, or fixing, and grounds for DQ.

 

I have no vested interest in this and am not emotionally invested in the Benky/Redelinghuys match fixing, BUT saying 'we tried everything to win' and then contriving to not try to win with a good few hours racing left is just dishonest.

 

Rather say 'It was tough out there and we decided it was worth sharing the glory so neither of us had to feel the disappointment' without the pre amble? 

 

I do think it's pretty bad that people are being outright offensive to each other over an honest difference of opinion. No one is 'right'... it's just an opinion

Personally, I really liked what they did and I don't feel for me that it detracted one iota from the excitement of seeing who would be the 'winner'. There were 2 winners and very well deserved to both of them.
