2022 SA Road & TT Champs

[Frosty]

It’s lap racing.

Lots of domestiques that work for their team leader. Once the job is done, they sit up and ride to the finish of the lap.

Anyone else lapped is also pulled off.

How come all those DNF’s in the men’s elite and U23 road race?

Apparently some were dq’ed for some kind of time limit ?

Tough route but so it should be for SA’s.

Basically 20km 400m /lap made for some tough racing.Just my 2c after watching the different age categories.While it was fantastic to see the talent(and I’m talking about male and female)coming thru,it is also interesting to see who IS NOT on the level.

To parents out there who have youngsters who have dreams of a career in cycling.If your youngster is 30 min off the pace,or getting lapped,or getting passed by the 40+ Ladies they do not have a future in cycling AS A CAREER.Please make sure your kid has a plan B.I was shocked to see so many youngsters with 200k bikes, all the backup from mom and dad, way off the pace.

Yes there is a few young talent coming thru male and female.

It still remains very little.

🤣🤣 and a boomer thumbs up.  Thanks, I’ve watched each day of the GT’s and classics the last few years but I’m still some kind of noob.

Jeez, Christiaan demolished the vets again. Well done!! Masjien!

I would love to see what he will do racing with the elites…

[DieselnDust]

Time limit was 15min? If you well behind by more than that you were eliminated. Same like Olympic road race

A lot of guys just pulled off too. With the loop, when you’re dropped it’s pretty easy to roll back to graskop. Idk it is a weird mentality. And time cut offs.

He races Elite often. Not as dominant there, but he's a contender in any line up.

Anyone know what happened to Byron Munton, at 142km in he was part of the 6 man break but with 5kms to go when the live feed came in he was not there at the end.
