Well, it wasn’t… I was watching the race and the course didn’t seem a big deal… Sergio raced and didn’t think the course was a big deal, except for the wind that made the course hard and slow. Also the run course wasn’t all flat and that slowed run times as well… After the race everybody talked about the amazing performance by Faris, he was incredibly strong out there. So people… get over it… it wasn’t a big deal!
I agree. The wind kicked my ass, but not the course. Tough race though.
And for those who missed the city loop? WTF? Where were you during the MANDATORY MEETING? No pity from me.
Well, it depends how lucky you got and whether you arrived at corners with slower people or not, or lapping them.
I talk with Christophe Bastie by email who said he didn’t know where he was at times and it was really busy out there.
May-Lise thought it was pretty busy too.
you make pretty harsh statements about lots of things for someone whose nick is NICE GUY Eddy…

No shit Sherlock… he got third…
I actually liked the course. By the 3rd lap I knew exactly where I was, the first 2 laps were like scouting the course. And I also have no sympathy for anyone who messed up with the course. Mandatory meeting, signs, repeating recording that you heard on each lap. The only thing that I did not like was the wind but the organizers had nothing to do with that.
I’m harsh b/c I don’t people not taking responsibility for their own actions. The bike course sucked, but it was simple. How hard is it to figure out that when you reach a point- that was labeled and had a recording AND was repeatedly warned about in the meeting- a fourth time you make a right instead of a left? What more to people want? You were there, would you have gone off course?
And this thing about qualify people by their times stuff sucks. If you went out there you have no one to answer to but yourself. (This part has nothing to do with you Francois). Good call on opting for Brazil.
