It's strange, why would the RTTC allow it to be on a course with even one pothole when there are so many courses with none?
It's a shame Dangerfield is riding for SIS, the team prize would be extreemly close and interesting otherwise. |

The trouble is the holes are literly on your racing line, to avoid them you have to ride in the gutter or to the outside which means you are basically in the middle of the road 
BTW they are not pot holes as you might seem to think, but never the less holes that you want to avoid |

| So strange, there seems to be this deep ground root to not quite do anything properly in this country. |

Don't think I have ever ridden a bike race on the open road where there hasn't been any potholes. Ever. In 26 years.

None on the F20/10. Or the R10/22. Other than in the last 3 years that i have only ridden the E64/10, and that has none either, but it has a large expansion gap on one of the bridges.
Glad to see i have 3 votes to win, someone's taking the p1$$. |

Can't vouch for the other 2 courses, but I have ridden the F20 last year, and there were many potholes on the course then..., and many big gaps in the expansion joints (worse than potholes sometimes). You must be so focussed that you don't see them!

| Maybe, i don't think any of the F20 has been resurfaced. I can't even think of an expansion gap on it. I think we just view what a pot hole is differently, which is probably normal. Anything i can ride over without risking my wheels isn't a pothole in my mind. |
