Yes, Dussault, who has just left CP1 came 7th last year, but I read somewhere that he lost 15 hours when he had tyre problems in the middle of nowhere, and had been challenging for a podium place.
Goy, in second place, did it in 2015 and was in 5th when he had to abandon after a fall 200km from the finish.
Bjorn Lenhard is 3rd, we all know about him since he not only finished first on PBP but broke the record time, riding unsupported against supported riders, and was close to Kristof at Cp2 last year before getting ill
Skinny is 4th
Rory McCarron, in 5th, I can't find out much about. He is a Brit, seems to work as a personal injury solicitor doing cycling claims.
Ian To in 6th is expected to do well. He tried to enter TCR last year but couldnt get a place. He has won Hard Cro the last couple of years, by good margins, and done other ultra stuff.
It looks like there is a race on with half a dozen useful riders at the front!
Rory is a Regents Park Rouleur with a penchant for 3-500km rides mid working week. Interesting chap. Really have no idea what the training regime of most of these competitors is like but he's really impressive
