Mitterwalner coming up to 15th was pretty impressive after that disastrous start

Mitterwallner crossed the finish line 5-and-a-half minutes after Lecomte. Her off didn't nearly that much time. Not sure I'd call that impressive (apart from the fact that the ability to do a single lap here without stopping for sleep or hospitalisation is in itself impressive! 😅)

She had a face of thunder at the finish and wanted nothing to do with anyone. 🤭

She had to run up the hill and then get her bike corrected. Probably 2 minutes in that alone. Then had to redline to pass all of the field for 5 laps from the back. All this at your home event when you were wanting to perform. Yes, I would say she had a right to be disappointed and angry at the end of the event. As would any professional in that situation. Yet she still composed herself and interviewed soon after. Not bad for someone who is not even 21 years old. For someone who is still learning i think it showed massive professionalism and yes I definitely think it's impressive

He is really looking exceptional. 5/6 and he is keeping within 10 seconds of the leading duo. Dis warm daaa' in Austria.

Travelling across the equator is always such an energy-sapper, yet Alan did really well to defend from the late charge by Dascalu. What an ambassador for the Lefty, that one.

Hatherly just held on. He was blown in that last lap

Blerrie well done AH 👏🇿🇦

Yeah.. not saying he didn't have a brilliant race. When he realised they were on him he pulled into his reserves and used some of that South African grit to hold them off, but you could see that he was spent going up that big climb

[Hairy]

I recon Rob Warner was drinking through this race as he mentioned Alan's name a few times and was even complimentary of him.

[OVERDRIVE]

Alan is at the sharp end for sure. Just a bit worried about Candice-hope she can get in at the front soon
