one where Will is mean to Carlton...what a jerk. Carlton was always the man.

I hope it's the one where Will and Carlton go to college and are roommates. That one was funny.

Someone from UniSA tries to sneak away, no other info
EDIT: 250m apparantly, so 15-20 seconds i guess?

Selfish Clarke, should be in the train for Hoff!

Will Clarke 250 meters in front with 5km to go

My first thought to that was, 'how cool would it be if they organised a slow sprint finish' Last across the line wins, going backwards or foot down = DSQ.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

250 sounds exaggerated, he's already back

 

[buster1]

that lasted long - swallowed up by peleton 3.5km left

I mean, the toilets flush the opposite ways Down Under, so they should do that opposite as well.
