I managed my usual trick. Fell asleep with 8 or so riders to go. Idiot.
I went to bed early at 9.30 or so, set the alarm for midnight. I actually slept like a log for those couple of hours. Set up the laptop to play on my TV and settled down. I poured a nice large port to watch with and started with Tracey Hannah's run.
Missed the main guys. Bugger......

I woke up on the floor at 4am....missed everything.
No idea what happened there, must've had too much caramel sauce on my sticky date.

I got my power nap in beforehand, but my other method is to use the timer on my phone set at 15 minutes. Just keep re-setting it when it expires and the most you lose is only 15 minutes, works a treat.

Oooh, good idea.

^Once punched Jeff Kennett. Don't pick an e-fight
The speed trap was at the bottom.

I'm sticking by that one too for the season.
Minaar, what a fucking champ.
Watched it over lunch today. How good were Ed Masters' crashes!!!

Minaar is rapidly becoming my favourite rider...I like his style.

All class. His genuine concern for his fellow racers is the icing on the cake for me.

He got to spend about 40 minutes in the Rock garden in Cairns due to hold up in practice...he was a really good sport. Hung out with the locals, many very well lubricated, took the sledging on the chin and gave back just as good as he got but done with humour, and his riding was off and seemed not 100% fit, so had every right to go hang out up the track in peace. A few days later after a shop ride with the locals, made a point of thanking people individually for coming out; an intense athlete who is quite a down to earth gentleman.

Sounds like most of the locals in the rock garden in Cairns...by the time the pointy end of the elite men were on course, they had run out of puff. Reckon the poor elite women copped the worst of the noise makers and cheering - one of my mates who was wearing earplugs the whole day reckoned his ears were ringing 24hrs later...

He'll develop into quite a rider as he matures over the next 10 years.

Watched it last night. Managed to avoid finding out the result.
I wonder what Gee has done to his arm. Looked sore
Amazing ride for Adam Brayton
I was expecting Troy to do better after his very fast long pedal at Cairns

I think he hurt it.
But yeah, it didn't look good the way he wasn't using that arm at all once he got to the bottom.
