56 scratched, 32 still racing, 5 finished.
Some hard guys still toughing it out, like Mikko with his rim brakes and TCR in his legs, and Shell who is 61 and has NordKapp-Tarifa in his legs.
As @hippy says above, when you hit the bad weather is a factor. The pic above that Chris took of snow on his bike shows that he hit it at the wrong time and had to scratch for personal safety. However, Jay reportedly pushed his bike over the same pass in another blizzard through night - so it can be done in the face of weather, but incredibly hard!
