High drama for both leading jersey's.

SCR have huge mechanical. Derailleur broken. Luckily not far from tech zone and they managed to repair. Not sure how much time they lost.

Candice and Amy also rear wheel issue. Amy has rim damage and not sealing. Losing big time.

"Outside" help only at tech zone. If they had a backup team (ladies don't have), then they could swop out a wheel

Is Lourensford a playground for the wealthyΒ or is it an untamed backwater?Β πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈΒ 

Should a foreign owned company be labelling a whole continent as untamed, especially considering that the private farms the route goes through are far from it?

Also, the untamed route has been shortened, which I support in these conditions, but goes against the untamed marketing message somewhat. This is Africa!

At 54km point, Spez is leading SRAM by 3min. 3rd team (Cannondale VAS) 5:11 behind. Waiting on SCR.....

SCR is behind 11:24 ( as just mentioned on stream). But I'm confident the boys will pull back time. They know how to ride high risk. VERY interesting at the top of the leader boards!!

Amy and Candice still to get to tech zone! 5th team through 41km mark is already 12min down to Vera and Kim. Meaning there is a leader jersey change possible.

Don't get me started on the fees I have to lay down just for the privilege to ride the Lourensford trails, and I am like 5 mins away in Strand. Clearly their fees are catered for their neighbours.

But screw them. There is more than enough other trails around to keep me entertained.Β
