Yeah, new leaders. But not due to own skill and form

 

 

Well they didn't puncture on the same terrain so clearly they rode better as a team or do you think Lars puncture was a random event due to a defective tyre?

to not puncture takes skill and a very refined riding style. Mani (not sure how long Henrique) was here for) spent a month in Grabouw training on the trails and they rode the Groenlandberg many times. They also trialled different equipment so they know what works and how to use it for these stages. Preparation has paid off

Like not riding over every damn rock on the mountain.

I would love to know what the training approach to the race is to get the riders to become stronger as the race progresses.

Jis but Robbie M likes the idea of drama.

 

They had a tiff they got over it, now just get over it already Robbie.
