I asked someone at the medics tent on Saturday and they said not many but there was a few. I think Tiffany Keep and her partner were two? Many out due to Zippo guts and associated dehydration, high creatinine levels. Some debate as o whether the Zippo guts is viral, bacterial(food or water) or a form of IBS (Stress related) Danger Dassie, Sid the Sloth and jcza 3

It was like they were left hanging there, until they left the finishing area on their own. It left a bad taste in my mouth. They were interviewed live on SuperSport. But no champagne bottles were popped. Nobody there to provide it. I think I caught a glimpse of somebody being quite firmly pushed back from approaching them as they stood in front of the photographers. Huge respect to them for what was quite literally an epic performance. Danger Dassie and DieselnDust 2
eala Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 If stage one was a cool day things would have been very different for many teams .Last year stage one two and three were really technically difficult but the weather was perfect .There were still a lot of riders that did not make cutoff .If those days were really hot like at 2017 Tankwa that use most of the same trails ,things would have been just as bad like at Tankwa day two when the temperature peeked at 46 degrees celsius .One riders also died that day and many riders ,including me did not ride the next day due to exhaustion Tatt, DieselnDust and Danger Dassie 3

"It's just dust" ... ehrm, no it isn't 'just'. Played a role in 2017 when it compounded serious issues with heat stress and a stomach bug, resulting in a shortened stage 2. Lots of people moaned about it, but on the whole it was likely the right decision. DieselnDust and eala 2

One shows their dad bringing them champagne when the clock past the time and they knew they were winners. They most certainly did POP that champagne. But no interviews on that highlight reel though .... DieselnDust 1
Carmichael Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 My 4th one and have to say it was brutal, this ons hurts very deep. Maybe i just forgot how much the other hurts, also did the last 2 stages with a stomach bug , that just sucked big time had no power and had to take loo breaks en route. Had a high fever friday night and had to get pills from medi clinic sat morning and almost got pulled luckily i broke my fever with panados. One thing that irritated me is that the route profile for each day was incorrect and elevation gain was incorrect , like stage 2 we were supposed to climb 2350, but ended almost on 3000m and that is from 4 of us 2 x garmin and 2 x suunto. i can se they are cutting costs each year..

Shebeen Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CbpiMClokzN/ early bird is sold out, i think. I got one by clicking on the link at 15:08, didn't realise it was the actual one to enter, and assumed by the n it was already sold out. No link to clean out my credit card either, just 48hrs to EFT it seems. So there will be at least one going back into the pile DieselnDust 1
