but Andy himself had a major spin on stage 1 dropping some 8 minutes extracting himself then crashing heavily about a third through the last stage and not finishing. 
Pace notes can be good but when they are misheard an even bigger "off" can eventuate as Andy found out. 
Average stage length was over 25km with most stages having some tight 2nd/3rd gear sections. Unfortunately all had some long high speed stuff which isn't any good for us - we reached 180 kph on one downhill straight 
and found the engine cuts out at that point! 
Overall a great route much better than in previous years, roll on next year
