JohanDiv Posted December 1, 2019 Share Realistically I can't see anyone behind Nina Long making the cut to tomorrow, even NL has a huge challenge on her hands with only 3 hours rest to spareMadeleen has been putting in some serious hours today and has now overtaken Nina Long, plus dropped a bunch of the guys she was riding with at the back. Still 60 odd kilometers behind the cut dot though. Probably have about 1 hour of rest in the bank if she wants to make the cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Robin Posted December 1, 2019 Share There are more people out on the route way behind cut off I haven't been online today and just checked now and saw that too. Hoping those still with a chance that are in front will make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatopek Posted December 2, 2019 Share Fanie van Zyl, almost at Ceres and the last guy just in front of the green cut-off missed a turnoff. Luckily only 2km before he realised the mistake and is on his way back. Jeez, cant help myself shouting no turn back Edited December 2, 2019 by Zatopek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Rat Posted December 2, 2019 Share Last night we had 6 riders behind the cut and they're still behind the cut. It looks like LR has stayed behind at WP9 while TS and NL are resting up for the last hour at WP10. The Hoffman brothers ad MK are battling on up the climb they need to average 18kph to make the finish before cut off, this is a huge ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohanDiv Posted December 2, 2019 Share Cut off is at 12:00 at Doolhof, but isn't there a 09:00 cut off at Ceres also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Rat Posted December 2, 2019 Share Cut off is at 12:00 at Doolhof, but isn't there a 09:00 cut off at Ceres also?I don't think they have any cut offs along the route, I see TS is moving as well. That gives us 5 riders behind the cut riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohanDiv Posted December 2, 2019 Share MK and TS almost at the top of Bo-Swaarmoed, then it is downhill to Ceres. Nina Long not far behind them, but she is walking up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nina Long not far behind them, but she is walking up there.I'm not sure TS and NL are still in the race I saw them being tracked at 100kph about an hour ago. It might be a tracker malfunction but they did close the 30km gap to MK very quickly. Also it looks like both Hoffman bros have scratched. This leaves MK as our last rider with 90km in 4 hours and as Taito says not the easiest part of the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanDiv Posted December 2, 2019 Share Any more news on Mads?  Watching her Dot tells me nothing.  Her head is still strong and she's determined, but sleep deprived at the moment. Last time she had a power nap of around 60min was 20hours ago at Sutherland Wannabe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
