So they are underway. Joseph nicely placed in 12th, 233km in, just a bit ahead of the other guy on fixed (Pawel).
Stephane is in second, I don't really know / recognise many of the others. There are a lot of nicknames which makes it harder but mostly Aussies. I recognise Rupert Guinness from last year, he's a well known cycling journo out there.
Ryan Flinn (Rhino) is in 4th. Last year, I rode with him for a short while on the first day when we would have been around 15th so there are definitely not the same number of fast guys - but no surprise given the circumstances.

Not sure about any others.
One guy has gone the wrong way, taken a short cut down the main road...
Last year quite a few of us (incl Rhino) stopped for the night at Southern Cross, so some people might be targeting that. The fast guys: Kristof, Mike, Jesse, etc were a good way past that. But it depends on the wind, last year we had a tailwind - on the first day!
