A brutal day! Maytown to Laura seemed like a short stage, but the while only 80km in length - a relatively short day for the croc - the terrain more than made up for it.
Technical climbs. Technical descents. And sand - so much sand! Nick estimates walking approximately 6km in deep sand during the course of today's arduous stage.
The slow going also introduces extra problems for racers - as the longer they are out there, the more chance it is that they have burned through their water and run low. Nick reported feeling stressed with a bit of dehydration - but has got it all riding on tomorrow - the last stage!
We are still waiting on timing - but looks like Nick was again in around 15th.
One more day!
