Burry riding really well! Does anyone else notice that a lot of the time the spectators are behind a second barrier and not right up against the bunting?! Seems to take a bit of the atmosphere away I think...

Effin line is so slow today, the live stream is incredibly frustrating!

[Sacrosanct]

Now the race is starting to heat up with riders attacking on the climbs! Going into the last lap Burry is in the small leading group with schurter and kulhavy!

Burry 3rd

[Sacrosanct]

Burry finishes 3rd behind Kulhavy and Schurter takes the win. Great effort, fantastic race!

[Orbit]

Burry in front through the rocks! Where he needs to stay if he's gonna drop these 2!

Eh? 1st Nino, 2nd Koolharvey and 3rd Burry.

Who was on a 26 and other than Nino who was on 27.5?

2 x 29 and 1 x 27.5 in the top 3, followed by a few more 29'ers.
