Brilliant. Chapeau Ingeborg!

39 overall reads even better!

Chapeau Wiesia (53) close to CP3.. woohoo

Karen Tostee has also finished, in third. Well done!

Neil Lauder & Ian Tosh have finished and the first pair to win, not sure how that works?

First in the category for pairs of riders, surely?

Are there categories? I thought that officially, there wasn't.

Yeah I gathered that does it just mean riders who wish to ride as a pair must register as such, presume there has to be a rule about not drafting each other?

Ah, I had no idea. I just assumed there must be.

I have no idea what connection you're envisaging there, Ludwig.

Ludwig's gone rogue!

Ah, that clears it all up, natch.

In the pairs category riders in the pair act as a unit and may share food, equipment, information and resources between themselves and help each other including riding in each other’s slipstream. No support is to come from outside the pair and resources cannot be shared outside the pair. To all intents and purposes, the pair shall interact with others outside of the pair as if they were a solo rider

@skinny and Kristof to go as a pair next year? ;)

I think we'd murdwr each other before getting up the Muur. I HATE riding bikes with other people.

I get the feeling Kristof probably prefers to ride alone too.

Cheers @Squaredisk :)

No problem, it's from the race manual.

I followed David über hero. Thought his tweets would be good.

Maybe he needs to get off his bike and fly home. I think he's lost it. If someone knows him, send him a message.
