The Munga 2019

AVD is making the same mistake as LM, I bet you that he's following LM's tyre tracks and not his GPS.

Piet Laubser has gone crashing down the leaderboard.

Was top 10 now he is sitting at 96km.

Ramses has been standing still at 156km for the last 10min or so. Kevin still moving, 5km behind him

No need to panic his Tracker has not updated for 11 minutes although it did show him stationary so watch this space.

Ambo is short for ambulance.. or does it have a different meaning in The Munga?

[JohanDiv]

Ramses is moving again..

Yip but he did stop for about 10 minutes.

And hot on Marcos wheel is Sithembiso Masango!!

LM is at the crossroads literally and figuratively does he go back along the route to where he left it (+15km) or continue and face the wrath of the organisers.

 

edit: it's the latter I hope they're kind to him.

[MORNE]

so assuming LM is getting a DQ then? he continued on the normal route after rejoining.

In the past the organisers have exercised an element of leeway with the back markers, in his case he gained no advantage but we'll have to wait and see.

Ramses pulling in for a breather at WP2!! Wonder if Benky and co will carry on

i can only imagine them being kind if the detour was in fact longer AND harder ito elevation gain etc? a massive downhill detour might just be what the doctor ordered in some scenarios lol

I have never seen an explicit explanation of the criteria they apply perhaps some of the old Munga riders can give their input. But imagine how this plays on your mind by day 4 you need to push yourself to the finish but you might get DQ'd anyway
