Also, the untamed route has been shortened, which I support in these conditions, but goes against the untamed marketing message somewhat. This is Africa! Don't get me started on the fees I have to lay down just for the privilege to ride the Lourensford trails, and I am like 5 mins away in Strand. Clearly their fees are catered for their neighbours. But screw them. There is more than enough other trails around to keep me entertained. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted March 25, 2023 Share From the footage and Leaderboard, looks like the Spez bikes are the best bikes for muddy conditions 🙄 dasilvarsa, ChrisF, OVERDRIVE and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephan Posted March 25, 2023 Share All over for SCR boys. They wont pull back time to take the lead (assuming Scott and Spez don't have mechanicals either). BUT, with Scott starting to lose time be sure that Matt and Chris will riding like crazy to win tomorrow. Exciting race. As for woman's race, such bad luck for Candice and Amy. Damn!

I wish they would stop broadcasting that though. We get it, 20 min down, what do we need to still see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted March 25, 2023 Share Worst part for the SCR guys will be that they will know they weren't beaten by a stronger and faster team. Mechanicals cost them the win and 2nd Epic Victory. That weather is a equalizer. Wonder how the drop-out rate will look after today's stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVERDRIVE Posted March 25, 2023 Share Tomorrow, everyone will ride to the death and whoever survives will win it. No holding back, no nursing nothing. Lexx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame for Amy, amd SCR. @J Wakefield can only fix at tach zone? If someone wwere to head to them and stop them on the side to repair, illegal? Only in tech zone or by themselves on course unless you have a back up team etc riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some will say a bit more strategy would have heled, but I don't believe in that. Be yourself, if its not meant to be it wont. ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted March 25, 2023 Share BTW, the bad news for the rear of the field is that there is heavier rain predicted for later this afternoon. The North Wester is still pumping here and I can see some heavier clouds rolling over the Helderberg mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
