Baaisikilist Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 JN almost 10km ahead.Hopefully Crusher can refuel and put the hammer down when he gets going again...
DIPSLICK Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I know half the fun is not knowing but we should have an option to know when we can't figure out what's what ,,,, frustrating
eddy Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Imagine the feeling after so many hours of bleeding something like a mechanical costs you the winIf anybody can sort a mechanical it would be Crusher. Hope it isn't one though.
Slowbee Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 in the spirit of the ride - do you think John asked of everything was ok and if he could help ?
milky4130 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 in the spirit of the ride - do you think John asked of everything was ok and if he could help ?i highly doubt it, it is a race after all.
DIPSLICK Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 i highly doubt it, it is a race after all.Maybe a charity "all good" ??? and then power down ,,and a small prayer to the powers that be,,,in thanks
milky4130 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Imagine stopping along the way for a power nap of 20-40mins only to wake up hours later, happened to me a couple of times. Not in a race but after a night of partying then straight to work on a Saturday morning.
Bat Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 in the spirit of the ride - do you think John asked of everything was ok and if he could help ?I think John accidentally dropped, or some spares fell out of his tool bag. As mentioned before, Grant stopped, John came past, a km or so John stopped, and Grant came past, and then Grant pulled over and has been busy for almost 50 min. Pure speculation.
Imploder Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 45 to go and and 35 ahead of the next guy. I think that's all she wrote.Well Done John!!! and good night.
IH8MUD Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Grant Usher seems not to have moved in 4h18 . . . . . Still at the Tankwa PadstalLE and VR have passed him.He is in 4th position now . . .Hope he is OK.
Spoke101 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 in the spirit of the ride - do you think John asked of everything was ok and if he could help ?I would be pretty sure John would have asked if GU was ok? he is one of the nicest/humble guy's you will ever meet, and GU would have replied with yes unless it was a medical emergency. (well this is normally how things are handled at the pointy end of racing in my experience)
Spoke101 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 GU is still at what looks to be a hanger opposite the the Tankwa Padstal and his flag has gone transparent which means his bike has not moved for quite a while now. JN is 3kms from race village 5 and 65km's ahead of 2nd place.
