    Jorge Boero (bike #175) fell 55km into the first special stage.
    Helicopter was there within 5mins, the 38 year old died from a heart attack on the way to hospital...

    Thanks for that Nordie, so Chris made up 8 minutes on his start position in a 32 minute special stage, be good to see how this progress' once he starts to wind it up. I have to admit to being in awe of the sheer riding endurance required to do a special (although a short one) and then a 700km liaison in one day, I'd be needing a lie down after the first bit, assuming I survived it!
