Thanks for adding the positions (you have a great stats engine there). We could judged how much time it took changing that tire. By the way, it's the first time I see a full tire repair (with tube) during a race. Most of the time, they are cut.

Thanks! Time wise swapping the tube was quite fast, but the fact of it staying off-bead made me to repeat the process with hot mind, haha! I could have tried to put the plug as the cut was not so big, but on a side I had doubts whether it could work out. Plus, for first time side cut experience during the race, not much options are spinning in the head on whats the BEST, except "here we go..." :))

At 2:08:15 marking wouldn't be that bad, but some idiot have ripped off the red tape, which should cut off rest of the singletrack. It was really hard to decide where to go, especially with so tricky section right before. Even if it was very well marked, it was weird spot to place such turn. On this stage I had over 1.5min lead there, and lost all of it because of that.

Yeah, I saw the tape only in the video and totally agree it felt contradictive coming into that corner. Yet at the same time it was not the only place, where course cut in the middle of super nice singletracks and went ****** way into nowhere. That was one of the most disappointing things overall for me in the whole race - switching into shitty places(especially forest works areas.. like, why??) instead of continuing down the singletrack. ESPECIALLY when course rejoins nearby, and nothing disturbs. Surely, there might be reasons for that we are not aware of - but just a general observation :)
