The Munga - The Toughest Race On Earth

[shaper]

RS seems to be on a bit of a charge... now up to 3rd

The sheriff's work sticks out like a sore thumb  broken foot - love it.

 

I really dislike Tapatalk - can't see the changes made. Had to go to the browser to see the changes

Man, I'm loving it. Such a wicked race. It's like a soapie roller coaster.

looks like it's a slight headwind, and about 28'C

the leading pair have almost caught up to John Ntuli's ghost.

The back enders - Neville Higgs, Mike Glover and others behind them as of 14H00 Friday have 70 hours to cover around 630km.

Will they make it?

 

They're on track, assume 16 hours of rest leaving 54 hours of riding they need to average just under 12kph. Did the calc for CV earlier who behind them and she's also on track. Last year the riders where about 30% faster than their averages over the last 100km not withstanding that mother of a climb.

Don't think they will rest much at RV4, safer to go down that mountain in daylight.

[Red Robin]

I cant believe how close together the top riders are.

[BMCfan]

they in Sutherland

 

Now the strategies will be very very interesting

I'm posting to twitter for now from my iphone as it's easier and faster because of the size of the pics

Is it "only" 100km to go?  

Having a final rest before the last onslaught.

Go Jeannie!
