Gap staying constant at 50-60 miles. They both stopped for about 4 hours last night, an hour shorter than they had been doing.
A massive duel is taking place and whoever makes a mistake, loses.
Hard to know who will be in better shape. Kraig has the lead and he only has to match Evan to win. Evan had the momentum, but that has flattened out now. Did it take too much out of Kraig to match Evan's speed? If so, he will falter in the next day or so and Evan will come through. Or is the effort sustainable? Then he has to sit on his lead.
At what stage do they pull the all-nighter? Save it for when they are within 500km, or try it at 900km and try to get a lead they can sit on...?
This will be interesting, but brutal for the participants.
Closest major ultra for a long time, probably since Steffen Streich's backtracking error in this in 2016.
Kraig has 650 miles to go so about 1000km - fireworks could happen at any point now.
