These div 2 teams duked it out for the first half of the race, before separating onto the north and south paths. Despite the differing route choice, they've arrived at the same time on "The Slope of Doom'. Will one team be fresh enough to go in for the overtake on the downhill?Div 7 B&G is firmly in the lead, but Yuk 7 have provided good competition… Read more.

So you may have noticed that the Race Predictor results change spontaneously this is as primarily we only get tracker updates every so often and when we do they have a major impact on estimated average GAP. We calculate the time teams are expected to get into endpoint by mapping their tracker data to a series of route options if they are close enough and then access the speed and terrain they traveled across to estimate an average gradient-adjusted pace which it applies to the remaining optimal route to endpoint. It does not and cannot account for nav errors or fatigue… Read more.

Div 7 this year is predicted to clock in at 45km--making it a 'true' ultra-marathon. They were also dropped earlier (read: it was still dark), to give them increased time to finish the route… Read more.

It seems all the Div 7 teams have left drop with all taken the northern Route option except Yukeembruk. Both routes on paper are similar with the south option (Green) taking in a bit less vert and probably marginally quicker option as opposed to the Northern Route (Blue). It looks to be challenging Div 7 with teams having to cover a marathong no matter which route they choose… Read more.

The race Predictor Still thinks Bruce is leading Div 1, but the gap has closed to B&G, I suspect it is way too excited about their expected finish time of 8:16am especially as the trackers seem to have Bruce And B&G in Div 1 very close. It thinks Bruce and B&G @ Div 2 are very close whereas Fenner is front in Div 3 with the predictor for some reason really penalising the northern longer and harder route (but perhaps overly so). It very much does not like Bruce Div 3 going their own way up to the northern route which is longe, hillier and more more rmeote than both suggested options… Read more.

Good News the race predictor is working and doing it's thing. It seems to think Bruce is storming ahead to win div 1 right now but I'd take it's predictions with a giant grain of salt right now as we do not expect teams to come in until closer to 10am… Read more.
