Tough event and brutal conditions. Not for mid-packers.

Definately not

Got 2 mates still hanging in there 20 and 37th as of this morning... still routing for both of them and tracking both, strategy today will play a big part as will be a very long day in the saddle!

Aah that is such bad luck.

 

 

All that prep.. shame man.. hope he heals up fast.

Any other video round ups.. Media summaries? Seems like a lot of backup on route, bit no real news reporting?

Yesterday was gail force head winds.all riders well slower than last year..brutal.and 45deg constant temperature

True hey. Amazing how the situation changes constantly. A 2 hour lead wiped out by somebody catching some shut eye. So many factors to take into consideration.

Very true.

In this type race, between comparable participants, 

 

Time puts you further ahead than speed.

The Munga Facebook page is giving a fair number of updates and pics.

They say that the wind is pumping already. (That was an hour ago)

['Dale]

I see the wind is already pumping..

Yikes ⚠️

[Gen]

I hope they at least get some cloud cover

I just checked the tracker and saw him scratched so came here in a panic to find updates.

Im really sad for him, I was cheering for him. 

The show must go on I guess.

Just saw this thread now and was working my way through it.... did not know Anton was doing it.

I wanted to wish him all the best now sadly it's to late.

 

Very sorry to hear this and I hope his injuries heal quickly ????

 

Good luck to all the competitors
