@grootlem Posted March 21, 2022 Share I'm just recovering from.a week with quite bad covid. My neighbors also got it they were going to ride mixed and came all the way from Sweden, luckily we don't know who passed it to whom. I'm a bit concerned seeing all the people mixing with no protocols that the event can get stopped if theyre not careful. There's already covid positives amongst the riders. And I hate masks, lockdowns but I don't see a lot of common sense out there.. I just want everyone to be able to finish Sid the Sloth, awesme, DieselnDust and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nino reckons he hit some hidden glass, tried to pop a tube in but the hole was too big and eventually swapped wheels with (didn't hear name). Hopefully Matt just had a bad day and isn't ill! Tomorrow is going to be proper exciting! I didn't hear wheelswap. Heard another rider with them also punctured same spot?

stringbean Posted March 21, 2022 Share Agree with Hendrik,hate the masks etc but looking at finish line footage there doesn’t seem to be any protocol’s at the Epic.Last thing you need is government officials to close the event down🤦🏻♂️ mikkelz and love2fly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Good point. Not sure what the average sentiment RE supporting is. - Covid protocals are annoying? - It’s bloody hot on the first 3 days? - Cape Epic’s entry fee feels like robbery so people feel less inclined to support it?

I thought it was sort of standard in sports events now. I'm pretty sure I know of riders that started knowing they could have covid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there covid protocols for spectators? There are a lot of people out on route at spectator points, a bit more fun than standing in the village Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nino confirmed at the post stage interview that he swapped wheels (and that the rider he swapped with had to put a gator in before he could use a tube).
