JOOSTENBERG IN PICTURES

You are forgetting that quite a few top 10 elites are actually SV.

[TitusTi]

My point exactly the only time they will leave the elite ranks is when they give up

[Marius]

scary thought...maybe we can pay them to stay were they are?

[stringbean]

Has Robby (bikemax) given up.I also heard RK is riding SV next year.

I want to see if some of the SV League riders will make the Eilte bunch. Not a ^&*%^ chance in hell. I dropped from the Elite first bunch and waited for the SV.....quite a JOKE. SV race different. More teams in the SV bunch to keep the pace high so their avg speed is not bad.

 

There is only/maybe a handfull of SV that will be able to survive Elite League.

What kit were you riding in? I passed a few EL's while having a brain-failure moment and going on the attack alone ..but I did manage to stay away for about 15km's

 

Those SV's that start Killarney in scratch usually have what it takes to survive most of the EL races...except me...I'm a bit heavy to be competitive

There are a good few who can - for example Robby was 2nd at Red Hill last year behind only Darren Lill.

fatcyclist......was it you that the bunch caught on the turn left to Paarden berg road. I think Robbie just got a puncture after the left turn, so the bunch cracked the pace up a bit to make sure he does not get into the buch again.

That is one.....you got about 3 to 4 oaks left.

Not ridden in the ELITES Bunch I can not comment, but I have started in None League rides with a few Elites in the B group as well, obviously no team tactics were involved and I managed to hang with them, ask Velouria!!!<?:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" />  Ok, but then there was the BikeMax ride, that Laurens elite guy was there I think his name was, together with a few more top Elites and I got dropped, just like when I ride with the SV's..

I could go on - there are plenty of 30+ riders able to ride with Elites and be competitive. Many athletes are in their prime at 30/31/32

Hey, I'm 32!!

[TitusTi]

Exactly in their prime, so they shouldn't be racing in an easier category?
