Shebeen Posted October 27, 2022 Share 1 hour ago, Roul said: I assume Benky had a rest over night? See AZ is 9km odd ahead of Benky. benky slept somewhere in the bustling metropolis of Khauseb (they call it Nam Vegas) from 12- 3am, abdullah came through about 20minutes beyond him and pushed through. Ā abdullah stopped for 2 hours from 6-8am on the side of the road here, Benky came past 30minutes after he got going again Ā riding speeds are very similar. If you look at Rosh Pinah to Khuiseb yesterday afternoon, they did the 166km about at speeds of 20.24/20.37 km/h (KB/AZ) with Benky about 30mminutes ahead most of the way.

I figure they both could push to the end without another rest, but the real mind games are coming up today. Going to be one for the ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
