CycleTourMediaOffice Posted November 24, 2012 Author Posted November 24, 2012 Most teams have left Ashton neutral zone and are heading toward finish line. So far, team NuWater have the lead (men's) and Vodacom Ladies are setting the pace for the ladies. While rain has stopped, the wind has picked up and there is a strong headwind on the road from Ashton to Robertson.
Mads Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 All and all it does not sound like a pleasant day on the bike. That is bad news. I feel for them.
Trailman Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Well done to all the teams competing in the DC. Hang in there in the rain and good luck.
Swart Kat Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Luckily they will have a lekke back wind from Robertson! Mads 1
