JohanDiv Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Cut off is at 12:00 at Doolhof, but isn't there a 09:00 cut off at Ceres also?
River Rat Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 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.
splat Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 There are more people out on the route way behind cut off We are following Sarah Atmore - her transponder fell off yesterday morning, so it shows her WAY behind.Waiting to hear if she finished this morningShe finished at around 6:00
taito Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 If you have not left Ceres by 9 you will not make it.With 1000ks in the legs that a huge ask and most bikes weigh at least 18kg. To ride those 2 passes in 3 hours eina.
JohanDiv Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 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. I see Johan Hoffman scratched a few minutes ago..
JohanDiv Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 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.
Wannabe Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Madeleen 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. Any more news on Mads? Watching her Dot tells me nothing.

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.
JohanDiv Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 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

I also saw Nina Long traveling at 100km/h in Ambo 8, then suddenly she was back at 12km/h with the MK group. Checked her tracker history and there I couldn't find the update dots where she travelled that fast.. might just be a tracker error
DJR Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 I can much more easily identify with the poor souls still out there today than I can with the two winners! Vasbyt people!

JohanDiv Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 TS's history definitely shows a higher speed and their current position is off course with the Ambo on the road. Current position of Nina shows she is pedalling with Madeleen though?
JohanDiv Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Ja TS definitely had a lift in Ambo 8 and is now on his bike again Or in Ambo 8 that is following MK
