I'd say complex features and speed make it a technical course.id love to know what your definition of technical is if this isn't.

I already did and specified the difference in semantics as to WHY I said what I said.

I still stand by what I said but I'm over it now.

Enjoy the racing

What a legend! 

Remember watching prof at prop forward at the track a few years back. Check prof as performance director at spaz factory now.

Don’t forget the surface too. Henrique was saying it’s quite a unique terrain but it reminds of the Free State in some regards with all that red soil around. Course walkabout videos showed a lot of green death everywhere.

the mens U23 race was a pretty quick one at 1hr 01:51 for 7 laps. I reckon the elite men will be out for 9 laps and the ladies 7 or 8 as well to make the compulsory 1hr15min. 
Luke Moir had another stellar performance to finish just on 75seconds down. I think we also under estimate just how good these guys and gals are to make these course look not technical enough.

consider that Luke would be cleaning up in the local races. And then Alan is still a mother few turns of the screw more highly tuned.

i also noted that all the speech riders are on the Epic 8 this weekend due to the technicality of the features. Schwartzbauer ditched the 32 SL for a 35 FA this weekend.

Yeah but what do they know... This is just another non technical track.

Anyone still think the course isn’t technical after watching the ladies first lap?
