BarHugger Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I see LE has decided to put the hammer down now.They are about to hit that climb......GU has smelt blood....it's exciting times...
Bat Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 What a champ HS is. With her detour, her mind must have been at its lowest. She is now 19km behind HB and catching. She is definitely my hero for this race.
Slowbee Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 is VR in trouble ? he looks to be standing still!
River Rat Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 also just refreshed and GU is second ?Would seem correct if indeed VR has stopped.
River Rat Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 VRs position has not updated for 27 min, often means that the rider has stopped. Similar situation in women's second HB seems to have stopped at the top of the climb with HS closing quickly but with the first hill climb ahead of her.
BarHugger Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 also just refreshed and GU is second ?The climb is in sight.....now that gap is going to stretch.....the fat lady has not sung yet.....but 2nd. place seems wrapped up....
River Rat Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Correction VRs position just updated and all three are together at the start of the last climb.
Slowbee Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 oh boy VR, GU and LE are riding together again, they are chasing each other big time, this looks to be set for a sprint finish .,....... who needs to the TDF
BarHugger Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Has anyone actually zoomed in on that climb.....as in properly.....that's a big ask on tired legs....
KingTJ Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 oh boy VR, GU and LE are riding together again, they are chasing each other big time, this looks to be set for a sprint finish .,....... who needs to the TDFYes classic legend stuff...makes me think of that tv ad, where the guy is swimming in a race and in his mind he is having that conversation with his daughter about quitting...then all of a sudden "YOU ARE NOT DONE!!....GU i did not know about you before this race , but i will not forget your name after this race!!
johanpre44 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Looks like the last 40km is very tough, Wolseley to Wellington over Bians Kloof has ~800m vertical ascent according to Google Earth. Hope these guys have enough reserves in the tank to deal with it.
