Races Within Races

This race is phenomenal.

1 & 2. Lance and Jeff appear locked in battle for the top spots. This will be close folks.

3, 4 & 5. Hans, Ken and Ramey appear to be fighting it out for these three spots. A couple of others could move up to make it even more interesting, but the trail is getting shorter and shorter.

6-10. Wow. What a field still in it for these spots! Martin, Paul, Mitch, Kjetil, Schnuelle, Steer, Swenson with Jessie and DeeDee not totally out of it yet too. That's an amazing field still fighting it out for 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10. Some of these could, possibly, make a heroic move to get 3, 4 or 5, but that's unlikely, we'll see.

This doesn't even include some outstanding teams right behind the ones mentioned. Truly an unbelievable race this year, such a deep and talented field.

I don't know too much about Melissa but am VERY impressed with her rookie effort! Has anyone heard any reports on her, other than the excellent BSSD one? (I will watch that when I get near a high speed connection)
