Looks like all the favourites still hanging together.  Hoping Mike Woolnough shows the youngsters how its done - great to see a 'toppie' mixing it at the front (sorry Mike  :blush: )

I may get shot down for this and I have never done it but why are some guys carrying so much stuff? Surely it would be better to try and plan it to sleep at the stops than carry that sort of thing. Seems some guys are pretty heavily laden. Would love to know how much of that stuff they actually use. Like I say never done it so I don't know.

What's happening with Johny Tauyatswala? His tracker is doing 120km/h on the R706.

Ramses for the win! He's a beast.

 

Amazing how everything is relative - I went to a talk by Michael Knudsen last week. He came second at the Trans Siberia this year. It's a 9100km race across Russia. One of the middle stages was 1,400km!

Sorry no. Erik Vermeulen would also have ridden. He was taking photographs at the start. So he also didnt start.
