Unfortunately, in his case, the Race Dr had to leave him to attend another incident, and he then got a tow from his team car (or another vehicle). On balance it was harsh, as he was entitled to a tow for as long as necessary by the Dr, but this tow ended prematurely when the Dr had to leave him. The general rules on towing then kicked in and don't allow for discretion. (My recollection of it anyway)
Ahh that is pretty much what I had originally said

My sincerest apologies, you did of course say that. The dangers of speed reading and not reading every single post! So much to do and so little time 0 -

Was a great day, was up with the Mayo.ie team who had 2 boardsies on it. Was in Drogheda with the lads before hand and then headed to Donore for the start, then shot across to Garristown and got them there. Ended up at the back of the cars and drafted 2 lads in but when we got to the start of the circuit they had it closed and the lads had to finish. The climb to where we were was mental long, no wonder it split.
Got a lift down in the broom wagon then through the finish line, what a buzz!
Met with a good few then when we all stopped in Enfield for the calories! Great buzz around the place.
Mayo.ie lads got a great reception in Westport then. Was a great experience and hats off to all the riders and the organisers, I'm new to this scene and loved every bit of it.
Weather was class and I have sun burn on my sunburn today. 900km+ clocked up by the time I got back into Mayo, was a tired boy when the alarm went at 6.20am0 -

32 teams of 5, 165 riders appears to be the quota/ limit. approx. 80 riders from Ireland and 80 international, in this years Race.
Glad to see there are checks and balances.... otherwise somebody like me who never ever got a CI point but who voluntarily upgraded to A3 a couple of years ago (and happily so) could voluntarily upgrade to A2 again, rope in another 4 knobs and enter a team 0 -

you might surprise yourself. If you are doing it the commitment has to start in November with a good plan to do the good stage races and to train long hours and miles. You seen it there last week they did 96km in 2 hours so if you are hanging on in an A3 you will have a spot of bother.
I did it 3 times 92, 93 as an S3 and 02 as an s2 i think. first 2 were grand but they were 9 days then the last one I bailed after a couple of stages. head melted.0 -

Travelling 8 days in a row at 40-45k+ average daily over 1,100 km in total
Serious fitness, strength and endurance required.
The aul saying...if it was easy...everybody would be doing it comes to mind!

indeed its not easy but you have to commit and train for it obviously. I dont think the lads hung around in those days either! I seem to recall a stage from Sligo to Tipperary with a 14mile neutralised section ended up doing 125m for the day!!!0 -
