@Hinksding , being the said member in your original post that went down the other day on a straight piece of tar road, I've had a bit of time to reflect, and clean my underpants. In all my years of riding (on some occasions, invariably hard), this was a first for me.. We left home early in the...

Reverse starting order is how things work traditionally. Cannot get info / confirmation on it yet for tomorrow Ross talks as if he will open the stage. If so, there is a bit of bonus time up for grabs for him.

After

Is the last day not in reverse order start, like usual? And if so, who will then collect the time bonuses for opening? Surely the guy opening, i.e. last guys to finish today's stage..

Makes Ross's performance that much more impressive not having team mates out there with him. Man alleen in die stof. Yster!!

1'st 17 positions on stage today all within 10 min's of each other!!

Very dominant display by the Honda guys on yesterday's stage, top 3 positions on the day. Me thinks this might have been the crucial day to shape the final podium. Some daylight opening up between Ricky and Ross for the first time in days. AVB also pushing hard to get in contention.

Very true. Honda has managed their riders well to get that cohesion and team spirit right. A BIG ingredient for success in any sport..

AVB is having a blast out there today! Brabec looks like he's got one foot on the podium. Very impressive ride from him so far. Super consistent

Ross looking rock solid on the stage today! 1 second difference in general standings between him and Brabec. Defo the 2 x standout most consistent riders in the mix up till now

That is some phenomanal stats! Great perspective. Also, before today's stage, guys have completed only 2300km of 4800km special stage km's. Race is far from over..

Dammm The list of members withdrawn / retired is huge! Some big names in amongst them: Sunderland, Klein, Howes, Bareda. Wonder if this year is tougher than previous events..?

The big boys all stepping up today. What a ride from AVB through those dunes. Can this be his year.? Braapbek has been Mr Consistency thus far. Looking like the Champ he was in 2020. Price stood up and got counted. He is playing catch-up though. Nice to see Chucky up with the front runners...

Going was tough out there..

Was always going to be a matter of time before he plays his hand
