can't see it going ahead when most of Europe won;t allow their populace to travel for leisure. Business travel and travel for professional athletes is allowed but not leisure. SA may be under more restrictive regulations come March anyway....

Most of us saw it coming. Good thing they can do something about it now and not repeat same situation as last year. A trickled down event will just mean that the Epic’s sponsors etc don’t get the exposure they need.

 

It’s a crappy time to live in and try to hope for things, but I just don’t want to have a “everything is f&$$ed” attitude.

So, rumour has it, the new dates will be 17-24 Oct.

At this pace we'll podium with all the extra training.

What about a virtual Epic? Seems the trend now, even with world champions...
