\nI had found a good spot to wait for the ladies. I didn’t know about Sabine’s crash but as they passed I noticed the blood. Jumping up I had to run and manages to capture this the second time. Only through sheer determination did she make it to the end #RESPECT\n<\/div>\n

\nWhat a day of racing. Punctures and other technical issues littered the leading pack throughout the stage. Scott came through with 1st and 2nd team in men’s with the \u2018senior\u2019 team allowing the \u2018junior\u2019 team the honour of the day. Scott won the mixed category yet again.\n<\/div>\n
