boss it dude!

yeah. limited sympathy.

Back in the racing looks like a couple of close races for the 4 who got the ferry earlier today.

Also looks to be a few people still heading to the closed ferry at the moment.

Interesting they wrote first to finish. Not first finisher, or winner.

careful, that's bordering on philosophy – you might anger the internet

Yep. Podium is totally up in the air still.

Don't they normally do this because the final results are always pending analysis for rule breaks, etc.

Lol

perhaps edited after, but this was tcr 07

Regardless of the different dramas, top ride by Christoph congrats to him. His strategy seemed pay off by CP4, he had more in the tank. No doubt skinny would have made it less comfortable for him if he was racing this year.

I'd have been on a ferry about now I bet. Don't think I'd have given him any hassle. Phenomenal rider.

wondering if it just the nature of these things that the standard of rider and competition will increase as we go on.

On one of the TCR podcast episodes (think it was one of the earliest ones), there was discussion about how the advent of pro/semi-pro riders is thought to impact these sort of races. Anna was also commenting on it and she mentioned their team would be sitting down after the race to assess whether they need to change things in future editions.

CS Wiki got an update:

It has been. It's the case with all racing. Time and brainpower yield improvements.

More knowledge is shared and more people compete bringing fresh ideas and approaches.

Progress.
