Anyone following UTMB?

Currently Pommeret, Grinius, Miller top three. Maybe two hours left?

I like the Nike ones with the chevrons >>>>>>

Need to get a load actually, I only have the one pair, and I'm sick of trying to pair up knackered Karrimors.

Cracking job by Callum Hawkins in the marathon. 9th place at 24, he'll go far.

I am assuming drops are still banned. It seemed to take forever for the UCI to allow 29ers back in the day.

As is my custom I'll be picking Talansky to win, followed by him losing 5 to 6 minutes on stage four.

One year I'll get it right, one year.

Supposed to be pretty technical isn't it?

There's a rather dicey descent on the tri course.

Would like hockey penalty system introduced in football please.

Race the Train was literally the one race I really wanted to do at the beginning of the year and I only went and bloody missed it. What a knob.

Enjoy @rhb

I have memories of seeing results of some track 10000 races Alistair did in the US and they were very impressive.

If I was called Gunnar Bentz I'd have gone into hip hop not swimming. What a name.

Inverdale should have been removed from the airwaves bloody years ago.

I think the idea of someone deliberately causing a crash, putting themselves and other riders in danger is frankly ridiculous.

Good news @juanito, hopefully you'll be back at it soon enough.

I'm thinking I might try and take this cross country season semi seriously (lol), going to get back to an intervals session in my local hilly parkland once a week, anyone have any nice workouts to share that'll keep me interested. Got a few favourites but it's nice to mix it up a bit.

What Wayde van Niekerk just did was ridiculous. I genuinely thought that if James couldn't break that record it was safe for another generation, but to nearly break 43 from lane 8 is mad. That together with Ayana's demolition of the 10000 are my athletics highlights so far.

It is incredible the powers of perseverance the guys still going have. I'd have sacked it off after a couple of days because I have no staying power.

What a nice bloke.

When I grow up I want to race bikes through Europe.

And yes, according to that the next ferry from Eceabat is in an hour and nine minutes.

(Got to say I would have preferred to have the race finish without use of a ferry. For instance if you had to go to the port at Eceabat and your arrival time there was your finish time, even if you then have a victory lap of sorts riding off the ferry into Canakkale. Don't like the idea of someone losing position due to ferries. Might just be me though.)

I agree. While I doubt anyone racing is checking their rivals' locations on the tracker (may be wrong) it still seems against the spirit to switch it off.

(This is all assuming he has - could be out of battery, or switched off because he's stopped for a long period)

James has reached Eceabat. Dussault still inactive.

Question based on this tweet

Another pro dot watcher tip: Some riders appear to stop moving but checking their individual histories can show if its a power down #stealth

Dussault's tracker is saying paused but his current speed at 23.5kph, is that an indication that it was switched off while moving?

Pulling away too it looks like.

Bit of a play with Google Maps.

Reckons that Neil has 288km remaining (set to driving, no cycling mode available).

Carlos is about 41km behind him, with James a further 42km back.

This close to the end and Neil and Carlos are consistently tracking within 2km of each other.
