1:51:05 > 1:51:08- I'm not sure If Yorben Van Tichelt - made a mistake.

1:59:32 > 1:59:35- These riders have to keep - pushing to the finish line.

1:59:38 > 1:59:41- No one has had to change - their bikes this afternoon.

1:59:42 > 1:59:45- That probably due to the - good conditions.

1:59:54 > 1:59:56- Sometimes on Muddy courses...
