Munga 2018 Race news

[GaryvdM]

Dion forgot to sign out, or he's chilling there.

 

his tracker hasn't moved, but might be a decent option to rest if its hot

 

He has left now, 10 min behind Mike. He stopped for about 2h10.

Race Control, Race Control, paging Race Control -- what is the story with RB?

sorry but maybe just a heads up that there is zero signal, but zero once you get 5kms out of town! RB??

[The Munga]

Yes, and apparently a fair amount of fence hopping and gate open & closing.

no fence hopping, unless they are lost! But there are gates!

[The Munga]

Gates

 

I don't miss them. At all.

What has happened to Maurice Mdlolo? Been on 0.0km since forever, but not scratched?

RB's usual MO is to go hard\attack & see who responds and can come with, he will then work together with that person, if not he'll just tempo on his own.

Guess he usually ends up riding alone then

Ram is now about to leave the ground road onto a farm road section ,this is one of the most technical sections on the route.Then into a sandy dry riverbed.Lots of us crashed there last year.Then back onto ground road to Sutherland.

 

Wow the distance he has covered is just next level.
