like I know you play well issues call me I'm Vera house Magda doing also pretty well I mind it was my team yeah okay leaving Robinson flat mile 30 you know WOM Z's crushing it as expected but the woman's race is really excited Andreea accuser from Switzerland is leading and then about six plus minutes back we have we had Magda we a tal like second and third and then we had Stephanie and Casey a couple minutes after that so it's shaping up to be a really tight in close race it's probably going to be a lot more carnage than last year they took a lot longer this year than they did last year to get through that point and somebody like Casey didn't look nearly as good yeah [Applause] I had to bring these pills with everybody know what I really don't like Asian oh sure not going in the fire hey man so that's the aid station down there it's a long stretch before you hit the Cal Street at Mile 62 there should be quite a bit a media following him I would imagine what did this madness here's Jim look at this non-tourage so there you go Jim left Michigan Bluff about an hour ago and he's leaving for still about an hour later wombly did not look too hot coming through here this year compared to last year last year he was flying and putting on a show that you're apparently he threw up as soon as he got to the crew [Applause] [Music] [Applause] goodbye Marco I guess back is back on baby

read with somebody lucky yo cuz I've seen a race before and she's just like has her game face on cat obvious ideas and great spirits she closed I mean I think yo had like six least six minutes on if we got Michigan bluffin cat made up a lot of ground like she literally pulled up right after yo [Music] [Applause] go get her forget that sir pay for Fernando he's going to take Magda all the way the race has officially begun go get a girl that made me feel happy right now after her here last year like I regardless the plate man I just want her to have a good day she seemed happy and that made me happy a JW Eric trans talked about the day what's going on boys the story today is I think the high country took a huge toll on agree.i I think this red stardom start to read star ridge was just rough and brutal and it wasn't just smell it was a shrapnel on the trail and all and indicating and and and people having to just time out at Red Star Ridge yeah I mean look poor guys the red star didn't even have trucks to take people out right so I think that's that's a huge story that the carnage in the high country the worst it doesn't times are going to be flow or Deena I'm going to say it's going to be 60% ministers rate at this and they're going to say plenty of money on silver buckles but another story is Casey hasn't arrived here yet and that's sad but you know she may be regrouping
