Would the organisers actually have ridden any of the parcours?
Would they fuck.
I don't think Anna has even been anywhere near it by car, given her view that there are resupply options at both ends, which is simply not true.
I don't think anyone had a bad crash up there, thankfully. So they got away with it. But they seriously do not know what they are doing on this point.
I think it was designed by their Romanian partners that they talk about in the manual. They will have ridden it.
Would the organisers actually have ridden any of the parcours? Just curious if they had any first-hand experience of it? Ulrichs point about phone coverage is interesting as I remember thinking they if something serious happens here I'd be a bit fucked because I had absolutely no signal pretty much from the control to the end of the parcours.
I haven't really looked into it but were they are serious problems for people up there? Ie. proper fucked bikes etc? Ulrich said he damaged both rims when I spoke to him but not sure to what extent.
