Mid stages are scored via GPS Tracker, Start and finish are scored by a human being. Glad that Finish Line scoring official didn't drop the card!

No mid points are probably a tracker failure. I do believe they have two transponders though the back up is not tracked only the primary.

He passed through all the checkpoints. At CP1 he was 4 minutes behind, he then fell further behind (7 minutes), before something good clicked, and then he made up 6 minutes in the final 52 km. Making up 6 minutes in 52 km is pretty amazing!

Thanks for that update Rich. Like most of us, I had no idea why he never reached CP1 and checked back later in the day to a real surprise! Way to go RGM. Great stage win, keep up the momentum.
