Anyone seen this?

does this mean that unless you have submitted results they will only use previous 947 results?

 

That is how I understand it as well, luckily my best race is the last 947,

They sent me a WhatsApp message, and I submitted results on Friday (01/10).

AFAIK, they aren’t using Racetec for timing, so can’t use them for seeding.

ridiculous, especially considering only 1 of the 947s since I did my first one in 1998 was not timed by ractetec.

You get automatically relegated to the 25km mtb if you've entered this event. 

Not too sure for the road race though. I'll watch for replies as I'm in both events with the same position as you

[NotSoBigBen]

Can't be bothered, based on how I'm seeded on whatever they have is how I'll approach the ride ... near the front as fast as my legs can go, near the back maybe the time to take a single speed bike out

True. 

Off the web site " Finish Time is the official timing company of the 947 Ride Joburg Road. "

Not sure why the moved from Racetec.

Just another timing chip to add to the bloody collection

We’ve gone with a disposable timing chip embedded in the race number. They might be doing the same. 

It comes down to cost.

First time in 3 (947)races that my wife is not riding with me, I suppose I must bump-up the training a bit.

Sleep in and make sure you have enough water for the heat.

And also my last road race. It's the only road race I have done annually since about 2010.
