I think the line up on the mat should be bike specific so the better riders can get a better time e.g.

1. First on the mat should be Specialised bikes - well, because they special

2. Second line is all the Italian brands like Pina, Bianchi etc, because they paid a lot of money for those bikes

3. Any french bike because of Julien and finishing on a french bike is an achievement in itself

4. Then all the Scott, cannondale riders. Those guys would really like a chance at winning sometime

5. I'm putting Canyon on the fith row because they have so much potential

6. This row is for Merida, Fuji etc. Those bikes are like redneck cousins who should'nt really be on the same road at the same time as the others but we cant really exclude them.

7. BMC because they Swiss and are neutral. They should not be racing but sweep at the back.

 

Any other brand should be among the MTB riders. Good luck to them.

 

Good luck to all. Hope you all cross that mat safely

 

What about the Giants?

Giants can start anywhere they like, they are Giants and nobody messes with a Giant

I only suffered next to you for like 33 seconds, and then I could not keep up any longer. ????

This year the plan is to get up there a little easier. Basically not bonk before chappies this time around.

I can't believe this weather... we haven't had a day like this in forever ! Makes me consider a second loop, has anyone seen anything about it ? I heard in the previous years you could pay a little extra to go for a second loop ?

If you start riding up the N2 at around 9:45 you may find some people doing a second lap ????

Easy to believe since this years CTCT is early part of Spring season compared to month of March in prior years...South Easter pumps horrific in beginning of the year (Jan - April)

Both ends expressing their dissatisfaction with something since early this morning. #overshare #preraceweightloss

I've done 4 ctct and I've always understood it as gun to mat. 

 

since the weather is looking peachy and we already know how disappointing the goody bags will be I reserve my right to argue about something else Argus related. plus I know I'm right!!!

nope, very unlikely. there's no wind the day before on the day after, so it's a solid forecast !
