Trans Am Bike Race / TransAm / TABR

Ligt has done TCR. Where did he finish?

Not very high, but he then trained hard for IndyPac and was one of the leaders until he got a bad saddle sore around Port Augusta (not an anatomical term).

I expected him to do well in TCR last year but he decided to pack after Frank Simons was killed.

I think he's also been training hard for this so I would expect him to be amongst the leaders if he can stay the distance.

Donncha did the same thing in both IndyPac and TABR last year - went off like a train and then blew up - so I wonder if he can learn from it or if he'll do the same again. He did loads of prep for TABR last year.
