2010 World Solo 24 Hour Championships

[Australia]

So is it true? Is Gordo out?

My second hand information (person to person, not internet rumours) is that the arm is broken. Whether its a Cadel Evans type fracture or a full blown cut in half type I dont know... even if its a little one, Porkbarrel is going to hurt...

The question now needs to be answered, who has the pace to stay with Tony Hogg for the first 18 hours?

Heh, lets see if Tony Hogg has the pace to go with Tony Hogg for 18hrs first...

QRings are super high quality... so yes good longjevity and shift very well.

Rocket Rons are the lightest UST tyre on the market (To my knowledge) and so far we haven't had any major issues... but that's probably due to the calibre of the rider

Thanks Norm good to know. Yes lots of tyres to choose from, some a lot lighter than others

MAybe a dumb question and maybe this has been answered already somewhere between all of the hundreds of emails, posts etc, but is there somewhere that updates of lap times, placings etc will be posted??
I have family and friends who want to follow from afar.

Times will be live on the web, hourly video highlights updates.

Links should be posted Monday on the event website.

We will know around 12noon sunday !

Lot of other suspects will be waiting for a chance to hit the course at pace for the full 24hrs.

There's hail a happening at Stromlo. Wasn't this one of Jebus' training suggestions? Be 3 hours from home in a hail storm without food or water?

Well to be fair Furious Fred UST's are lighter (mine measured @ 410g each). Rather limited trail potential of course

Be careful of the training ride that involves locusts.....

haha not normally but I couldn't resist getting some to try out. I had one on the rear for the Syd 24. After arriving at Del Rio I regretfully had to give in to and switch back to a RK.

I've not had a chance to try them out again due to injury and the fact they are the hardest damn things in the world to inflate even with a compressor!

I haven't given up on them yet though!

Yes good call about the FF's... I would love Jess to try them out one day... I think they are the shiz!

Yep, NextG works a treat at Stromlo, so grab a pre paid SIM and you're away.
