Good luck to all the riders who started today, by the time I post this the leaders shouldn’t be too far off finishing.

#2010worlds #prowatch Lots of respect goes out to Ruth Corset (Aust) and the @cyclones - what a terrific team effort today for what turned out to be a very tough race on a very tough course.

#2010worlds #prowatch @cyclonesHQ Ben King put the hard yards in early to protect the Aussie team’s interests by soloing off after Ben King (USA) then continued his work after a number of riders bridged across to him.
