Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 thanks ronelle, het daai een gesien maar daar is hordes u16 outjies wat hier liga ry.
Pieter Henning Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Where's Phen? Ek's hier... Hier by die huis Henning and Barend are riding sometime now... Holding thumbs they have a good ride. I really wonder who will win it though. Hanco, or one of the three Exel boys? I hope Rabie does.
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 What I mean, look at this, this is all u16 guys in WP. Look at their seedings, why are they not riding SA's? or.. will they only ride the road race? Carstens, Evan D232 Ketterer, Kenneth B115 Botha, Shawn B181 Botha, Wayne C282 Smit, Werner B281 Ihlenfeldt, Stefan A200 Avenant, Helghardt C101 Rust, Albertus B240 Daly, Mark A189 van Schalkwyk, Ruan A168 Whitaker, Keith E178 Puzey, Marc A139 Carstens, Johan A179 Labuschagne, Eric A183
HomerSimpson Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Ketterer, Shawn Botha and Avenant are no longer u16 (Juniors at least). I would guess that in some cases school exams might take preference?
Chrispy Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Ketterer sick, Carstens felt he was not on form The following defenitaly in Bloem. (I know I am here too) Botha, Shawn B181 Botha, Wayne C282 Ihlenfeldt, Stefan A200 Avenant, Helghardt C101 Rust, Albertus B240 van Schalkwyk, Ruan A168
Sunblock Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 the only FSS medals are in girls cats, where the fields are smaller. there are hardly any FSS riders anywhere anyway

Sunblock Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Just a hunch but if the okes don't ride TT I doubt they'll do the Road race, just because the road race is harder. Just my 2c.
Chilli Pepper Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Baie geluk aan Doret met haar 3de plek in haar kategorie!
TitusTi Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I'm not doing the TT, will be there for the fun on Sunday though.
Sunblock Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Will u be riding tho? I've heard that after the first few laps the guys who aren't in the running drop out, so sometimes only a handful finish. is this true?
Pieter Henning Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Just a hunch but if the okes don't ride TT I doubt they'll do the Road race' date=' just because the road race is harder. Just my 2c. [/quote'] Lots of guys don't do the TT, but do the road race - That is why there are a lot more entries for road races in each category than for time trials. I myself was entered for the road race but not the TT. Lots of the pro's don't TT either - It's pointless doing the TT if you're not a bit of a TT specialist. And the road race isn't necessarily harder either.
Sunblock Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 must be a triathlete mentality then, from my side. Last year I rode TT (badly I may add), and didn't do the road race - didn;t feel nearly fit enough for the distance. this year (when I still thought i would be riding) was not even considering going over Albrecht 14 times, or whatever it is. To me 30km on the road is tough enough against the best in SA. Anyone know if Raynard is coming this year. To me he represents SA's best timetrialist, but again, probably a triathlete mentality.
TitusTi Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Yip, sunblock this is indeed true. I think there are normally on average about 15 riders finishing in the Elite cat, I think the attrition rate is minimum 70%.
