really been interesting to watch WSU (4th line from the bottom) pick up the pace over the past 500km... if they can keep up that pace today, they have a real chance of passing four (!) cars very soon and sliding up into 7th place.

A malfunctioning latch caused the left wheel cover to fly off after a gust of wind, caused by a passing road train
