Maybe that was the initial intention until the organisers saw the state of the road before the Boland 100 Miler. Maybe looks great on the marketing blurbs but don't think that road is suitable for road racing anymore? agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been riding the motorbike there for a few years now and I can tell you that even the right side of the back straight is now bumpy, we wrestle with our front wheel at 270 now and with a headwind it becomes even worse… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking forward to racing this week, and the elite field looks fairly decent. Does anyone have GPX files for the stages? on the website downloadable Sid the Sloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleedToWin Posted December 1, 2021 Share Speaking of backstraights, tomorrow's wind should be interesting... Either block head or right-to-left crosswinds for the last 70km... Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
