cat-i Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Kudos to the guys and girls. Hard as nails. Sadly this race is not for me. It's not the sore arse, lack of sleep etc that would get to me. But there's a boredom factor on those long never ending open stretches of road that would simply kill me. Sleep deprivation. Very very hard. Would love to read some write-ups about this afterwards to see how the riders experienced it.
Larry King Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I think Hannele is going to launch an attack.... She is a crafty racer...

Andrew Steer Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 The Munga @TheMungaMTB 52s53 seconds agoChris Van Zyl and John Ntuli have had no sleep. @SSGrantUsher about 2hrs. @pwc_za @Mitsu_Motors 25km's behind, but with the extra sleep... Grant is probably 'winning' at this stage. It's all about how the guys keep it together though.Gonna be a brutal second half, they surely can't keep this speed up?
jcza Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 My money is on Grant. He is running 1 x 11 XTR Di2 with 42T ring.
dirtrider Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 But he not getting closer anymore . At one point he caught up to the chasing group and has fallen off again
BarHugger Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 My money is on Grant. Yip.....what I said earlier today.....
BarHugger Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 But he not getting closer anymore . At one point he caught up to the chasing group and has fallen off again Perhaps riding clever.....maybe listening to his legs......
the nerd Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 It is still early days.... Its the last 1/4 that will count here
