Yup, he said he ain't in.

 

I also see Guy Jennings, Jurjen Draaijer and Elodie DePrez as recent Rhino Run finishers on this list. Respect if they are on the startline!

Guy and Jurjen are actually riding. Elodie and Benky are watching

See Martin Freyer is pushing at the front! And @gemmerbal is at 407!

I assume Martin took a rest somewhere during the night.. Franso caught him and they are now riding together at the front.

Looks like it, probably stayed in the hotel in Britstown.

The section after Britstown is tough with lots of Gates

Looks like a nice battle is going on between Freyer and Steyn at the moment.

[Brakepad]

quite a few didn't make it through the night ... has anyone info on that ?

maybe not. I didn't realise it was draft legal now, so there could be a truce. Since there's no prize money nothing stopping from them both just riding over the line together.

I know this happened before but prizemoney was at stake

Didn't they write new rules after that Khumbaya debacle?

[Ozzie NL]

Top dogs in these races do not ride for the price money... it's nice but not the decider. 

As mentioned previously most big ultra endurance races do not have a monetary reward for the winner

It's confusing, when I checked earlier there were 13 riders marked as scratched, now it's only 3 ?

Looks like you are right, I think Freyer is hurting a bit and Steyn might be wanting to ease up a bit after catching up. Maybe they will have a go in the last 20km or so.
