I guess we just have to wait for the final seedings to be published, as some mixed info on different sites

[DieselnDust]

The website hasn’t been updated much so take the information therein with a pinch of salt

According to the website the below still reflects:

Team Seeding And Start Order

All teams will be seeded in conventional “fastest first” order unlike in previous years. This is to ensure maximum social distancing on the road, at feed zones and at the finish. Teams are seeded on previous Double Century history, as well through RaceTec’s general seeding system, and is done on the fastest four members of the team, not just the captain’s performances.

You found a page from last year that is not supposed to be actively linked anymore. Their site maintenance is not great. It's fastest latest.
@Jbr I thought you hate getting up early more than heat and wind? First team starts at 5am...

I remember last year's heat on the 3 sisters more than I remember the 4am breakfast ????

But I didn't know the existence of electrolites back then

For now to avoid confusion just assume it’s fastest teams last as per the social media posts. The reason for the revert to previous start order is the length of time the slower teams were out on the road. Many dehydrated riders suffering in a hot wind wasn’t fun . Not sure how busy the medic tent was with administering drips due to no after race festivities but it could not have been pretty. A case of a well intended covid protocol that bit in an unintended way.

but nevermind that minor detail. What times are your teams aiming at and have you held the secret meeting where the team capt draws lots as to who will be shelled on Tradouws , op de Tradouw , etc

strategy is everything

you okes are special though. You write the ride report first and then execute accordingly LOL

[Jbr]

go fast, don't forget to eat and drink. practice your "peeing on the bike skills", make sure you know the wind direction before executing the previous step of the plan.

In my 12 years of riding I have never had to pee on the bike, what are you doing before the ride? Down downs??

Worst DC experience was the rain. Not so much the wetness etc, but going down after Tradouw and a truck coming the other way and the whole group of 100 riders just disappearing into a white cloud.

Trust the guys training is all going well, team dynamics all coming together.

Just 3 more training weekends to go????????‍♀️????
