Silk Road Mountain Race (SRMR)

Looks like Jay’s over the worst of the climbing with Skinny yet to got to it, so may be a bit much. If there’s 5k between them once the course gets flatter then I’d fancy James to edge it.

Edit: Jay now doing c. 20kmh so probably going to put some distance between skinny and him now.

Doing it right 👍🏼

Jay will be finished in the next half an hour more than likely. Gutted for Skinny, hell of an effort to get as close as he has. Especially because he’ll only be about 4 hours behind and had to stop for a day.

Updates please... mapprogress not working on my phone so this is my main news source!

Sorry, cricket took over. Jay is done. Skinny will likely be finished in the next few hours.

Jay has (as good as) finished. Skinny about 30km to go. Jeff another 20km back.
(5:10pm BST)

Here’s what the map looks like. 4th place for skinny. Amazing and disappointing all at the same time.

Skinny will home within the hour. Forca James, a balls out ride which deserved a better result.

Congrats to Jay, bring it home skinny.

Skinny is in!
Fantastic going.

As i see it he lost 35 hours on the robbery incident, but still managed to finish only 32 hours after the winner. What does that tell you?

That tells me we have all been robbed of the fight of the year.. Or perhaps another draw

Chapeau skinny. Amazing ride.

Well done @skinny for sticking out what looks to be hella hard race with or without bandits. You fucking legend!

Well done skinny. We were all robbed of a great finish.

Chapeau @skinny. Extraordinary ride.

Indeed, well done @skinny for an amazing ride. Most of all though, I'm pleased you are safe and well.

Superb performance by skinny, top dot watching of a race

Amazing @skinny! In total awe at the fortitude you’ve shown in this race and others!

I should add an official chapeau now @skinny is actually done. Thoroughly gutsy ride which made for incredible dotwatching.

Sorry such unpleasant factors had a hand in the overall result.

Chapeau, skinny!
