Well the forecast was for no chance of rain. So.naturally a big line of rain developed right along the line to the last turnpoint.

So it became a distance day. Winning distance should be about 400km. My understanding is that it was impossible to get to the final turnpoint. Naturally, scores will be very late coming in.
