rich 1.0 Day 9 of TCRNo12 and the finish is coming into focus. Though the race is far from over, Robin Gemperle (001) opens what could be a decisive gap as he pushes towards the finish. Race Director David Ayre explains the thinking behind the race's closing stages. Meanwhile, Control Team 2 heads off-road on the trail of Pawel Pulawski (008) who is finding solace on quieter roads. With the FLINTA category shaping up for what could be a sprint finish, we hear from leader of the pack, Sarah Bosslet (120) as she reaches CP3 after a challenging day in the heat. We also catch up with riders further back as they reflect on the highs, lows, and lessons of their journeys so far.
