Might have to re-measure the
Middle road! ;-) Can't have the French taking all the
glory!
(2) If this was an
Olympic event I'm sure Lambing Flat's little Krauss would be
disqualified under equipment rules for adhesion working.... LGB rubber
tyres seem to me to be in the same league as sprung shoes for high
jumpers or flotation suits for swimmers. On the other hand, I bet they
have the sanders going full time on the Chamonix 1 in 11!
Would it help your sense of fairness to assume that
RVR No 1's rubber tyre is the small scale equivalent of sanders?
:-)
It will all be academic
anyway, once the Top Points deviation is complete!
