Ultracycling

I recon they are within a couple of hundred meters of each other.

Bunch sprint on the line or a uci brown envelope passed under the table .

Even if it’s under snow, at least both riders are currently on a tarmac section (I think!!). Once they hit the summit they turn onto gravel for the descent.

Silly me, should have looked more carefully. That last photo does look better. The earlier one that was posted of skinny suggested that he was still surrounded by snow.

😀

sooo close
stop taking pictures and drop him on the last bit of the climb!

Closest finish to an ultra race I ever did see. Come on @skinny!!!!!!

Sofiane's dot is bouncing so I'm guessing James is done too... he seems to have left his tracker on top of the mountain...

Awesome all round!

Nice to see they are both safe and well.

This is .. amazing.

F##king brilliant. Love it
Congrats @skinny

Gwan @skinny, you absolute beast.
Your ability to suffer amazes me.

Yeah congratulations to both, great race @skinny, totally unpredictable ending. Look forward to reading more about it!

Fantastic race, great dotwatching

Smashed the final climb to see if I could catch him. 18km long 2.5km from the top I see him. I rest a moment eat something and then i attack him with everything. He claws back. I go again. He comes back, I go again. A gap of 10m as we approach the summit. It was incredibke, felt like I was racing a tour stage summit finish. I stop at the top and say lets ride in together. Abd we finish together.

Racing gravel descents in dark after 4 days flat out is dumb.

Brutal race

Well done to both of you, the joint finish is a nice (if unexpected) touch.

I assumed thats what happened from dot/gram watching. What a brilliant way to finish a phenominal ride. Well done to you and Sofiane

Sophiane has real potential, he was strong in TransAm too. Hope to see him in more races. Well done @Skinny.

An Epic finish.

It’s a word used too often, but for once, perfectly apt.

Well done to both. A very sensible decision about the finish run-in.

Wow. Legendary stuff. Congrats Sofiane and @skinny.
