So who has seen this? Rapport Toer/Tour 2021 Paarl

[DieselnDust]

Hackers can do it!

Seems like a solo subvet entry is R4k.

 

 

So it is like any other event currently, but a road stage race needs to get off the ground somehow. If they have ambitions to create a "tour down under" type uci event then this is one way to do it.

 

 

 

 

 

Its cheaper than the Tour of Good Hope was listed at before entry discounts were applied to attract entrants.

 

So we'll see you on the start line Shebeen

No chance of this event selling out - should be fine to wait till closer to the date to make a final call

Tshwane Classic and Lost City used to be ASG events?

 

Not saying its the same people but there seems to be a connection?

One of the guys on the team used to organize the events at ASG.

[Spurs]

Is it confirmed that TOGH is no longer? And this is the new pre CTCT tour?

ToGH is no more. ASG pulled the plug on the events company

Interesting: The rules states no disc brakes (for licensed categories - english version)

 

 

26. Disk brakes not allowed in licensed categories.

I suspect they mean only for the Elite and U23;s.

The age category riders don't need a license just CSA membership to participate

So not UCI rules then?

Wonder if we can pitch up with a 5kg bike and knee socks?

i think that's just a cut and paste from an old rule list, and will be adjusted

remember when UCI were anti disc brakes in the pro peleton because of the "perceived danger". No one seems to be bothered anymore, i challenge anyone to try and recall how many of the 3 GTs and WChamps were won on disc brakes this year without googling.

[Shebeen]

have sent mail to them.

not exactly confidence inspiring when the official channel is a gmail address, and there is no facebook/social media link

Think you are right .... just a copy and paste error .... from an old rule-book

 

UCI allowed disc brakes since 2018, and CSA have allowed it too ...

 

3.4.6 Disc brakes are allowed in road race and time trial training and competition. (Refer UCI Rule 1.3.025)
