R 100 000 incentive

[Super]

How was chris willemse, giving a R 100 000 incentive for breaking the SA Record in the team time trail on the track!

They missed out on 3 sec!

Ouch!!

 

 

[Red Zone]

How come Chris Jnr rode with MTN or was it a 'record' breaking attempt only?

[SeanMort]

It was exciting to watch this race ! No wonder CW Jr left his team in the dust on the last few laps ! .. but it wouldn't have counted I don't think, as the time of the 3rd team member across the line counts. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong about this.

[Sparetyre]

Team pursuit time is taken as the 3rd rider across the finish line.

How come Chris Jnr rode with MTN or was it a 'record' breaking attempt only?

 

Hello pedal ! Chris Jnr was trying to set his own record without his team mates. The guy was on fire ! MTN took the win though, but no record. I also watched him and Garth Thomas light up the Madison event on Monday. Great racing

The R100 000 incentive was a joke between Johnny Koen and Chris Snr .

Glad to hear someone took it seriously!

 

But a good attempt anyway.

[Woofie]

What is the SA record anyway?

 

How fast do the guys normally average around the track?

[Chrispy]

Record is 4:31.??

 

The Brits and other top teams do it in less then 4 minutes, but on a wooden track.

[Woofie]

Is wooden faster?

 

I would have thought that cement would have been faster.

 

mmmm...

[Chrispy]

Wood is much faster but it is all about the temp of the track. Bellville's Velodrome is known to be much slower in the morning and evenings. As an example both Gadi and Morne clocked 11.07 and 11.09 in the 200m qualifiers. But both have done 10.8 on the same track in the past.

Well done Chris with your R 100 000 incentive. we need more people to help making Track cycling excited.

 

When will their be another track meeting?
