[Event] The Munga MTB 2017

[Gen]

100km separating the top 7. Impressive.

 

Will the winner finish before sunrise tomorrow? Last year Heinrich and Jeannie finished before 08h00 IICR.

Only +-220km to go... and the way he has been going, he may even finish before the clock strikes midnight.. [emoji44]

Yeah, take away the mechanical time and frustration and she's sitting 3rd at least...

 

Benky is closing in a little on Marco it seems, gap was 60km 4 hours ago, it's 40km now - can only assume MM had a little nap or longish stop. This race isn't over until it's over - must be some ridiculously tired minds and bodies out there. And still the little matter of 270km's odd left.

 

They've seriously set an incredible pace this year

MM had about a 3 hour stop. While it might look like he's got this in the bag, and the weather is quite mild, as Benjamin Franklin said"anything can happen in the last 200km of a MTB race"

[Slowbee]

The last 240 km is where the race is, as this is where the uphills start.

 

SO Mr Benkie skipped Sutherland.

 

I wonder if it was because he sun is up and the daylight hours make is easier to ride and stay awake? Trade this off against the heat.

 

Might power nap at Tankwa Padstal or Ceres, depending on where he is in the race.

Very true, but barring a serious breakdown he should hold on to his lead, based on his performance so far.

MM will finish today, might be in time for sundowners!!

[fabes]

Marco Martins still averaging over 20kmph after 38 hours... incredible stuff

Jeannie Dreyer still moving up the board slowly... up to 6th now.

 

Vetseun still doing us proud out there 476kms and counting

Gooooo Jeannie

[Tothehills]

See MM has stopped.

KB should make up some time coming down the escarpment

The battle for the last podium spot is going to be interesting.

[edgarblount]

This dot-watching is riveting stuff.

 

Go Benky! Go Vetseun! Go Jeannie! Go everyone else...!

[SwissVan]

Geez, I had a late night and early start this morning and I feel crap.

 

Can't even begin to understand the demons these peeps must be fighting off at this stage!

 

Kudos!!

So true... all I could say this morning while staring bleary eyed at myself in the mirror was .... “Friday at last”

[JJDT]

See Marco is on the first major climb of the race...this guy is on a mission...would love to find out what will his thoughts be on this last 200 odd km's of the race.

[dirtypot]

Hold on a minute.

Has Guy had a hip replacement?  Both? 

Am I reading correctly or too much dot watching????

 

Yip, double hip replacement.

Vettie is in the top 40. Not bad at all. Go Vets!

If I were a betting person my money would be on a lady filling that spot.
