Oh no to your foot but oh yes to their quick response. Time to soak it all up and work on some tan lines then this week. Hope it’s not hurting too much.

That is really unlucky @TROSaracen, but great news about the deferral. Wishing you a speedy recovery :four_leaf_clover:

I feared the worst for IM’s reply so delighted to hear they’ve deferred you. What incredibly bad luck to get an injury! I hope you can at least enjoy the atmosphere while you rest up.

@TROSaracen , wow that is incredibly unlucky. Want to say something positive; so the deferral is good and you can hopefully soak up all of the atmosphere of the race and of course 2 years, which will fly by, to get even faster

You’ll have aged up 2 groups won’t you :joy:

Track down Bob Babbitt down at Huggo’s, tell him your story and ask if he can get you on the list for the TGINR (thank god I’m not racing) party on Friday night. They used to have some awesome medals for the attendees from photos I’ve seen online in the past.

That’s grim…sometimes life just sucks…

Anyone going to stick their neck out with predictions.

I’ll probably be watching until the end of the bike again :roll_eyes:

Think there could be a Dain on the podium

At least one Scandi will do well

What does Thorsten say?

Looks like a 5 horse race.
Laidlow, Ditlev, von Berb, Iden, Blummenfelt. With Lange also in the mix.

Based on absolutely nothing, I’ll go
Ditlev
von Berg
Iden

Blummenfelt
Ditlev
Laidlow
