Indian Pacific Wheel Race - IndyPac - IPWR

Caffeine + sugar + will power (and a bit of beer)

I'm rooting for Mike, but Kristof has done a perfect race and would equally deserve to win it. Would be cool if they arrived together

kristof just stopped, mike is still going, maybe kristof just wants to avoid continous head to head racing..

Maybe he needed a dump. Mind games. Who knows.

Must be weird when you're overtaking your competitor like this in the hills, just slowly appearing behind them, going past and then slowly heading into the distance after not seeing another competitor for weeks

So is Kristoff stopped again or just the tracker problem they warned about in the mountains?

Whats the rules on lashing your baggage in the last 500 k and ramping it up . It could be a street criterium around sidney at this rate .

I think it was just the tracker, kristof is ahead of mike again..assuming the estimated time of finish will be friday morning, it could well be the ultimate commuting ride through Sydney...

Someone said he's stopped.

I didn't read any rules re: luggage although some people interpret the TCRs rules as meaning you have to pick your kit and stick with it for the race duration. They don't want environmental impact with people using disposable stuff.

Tracker just came to life and put him in front of Mike again. Approaching the big climb in the next hour as well

This race needs more helicopter footage.

Chopper footage of a solo guy riding a bike?

The fuel is better used elsewhere methinks.

On-board cameras with mics - now that would be interesting footage.

Your sarcasm detector needs as much work as these GPS beacons.
Agree, on board cameras would be fascinating.

Kristof is getting more unintelligible...

Needs a photo finish.

Except you're not the only one suggesting it. So at least some of you are serious.

I'm sure there will be a photo of the finish.

Ok, I need a coffee now. Can't tell if I should be delivering sarcasm or witnessing it.

We need more in-your-face-vloggers

I think Kristof lies.. he's saving something for a last strike

Third place seems less of a done deal than it did at one point

Anyone know what Frank's cut off is for coming home?

No thanks. It's like the only people allowed video cameras in Australia these days are gobby vegans.

Kristof has just slept for ages - he's gonna smash this

Edit: although perhaps longer-term sleep debt has a greater impact than short term..?
