With only 12s separating @NadProMtb & 2nd placed Pruus/Tarvis, it's ALL to play for. @Team_Spur & @StappenbeltMTB also in tight battle4 5th pic.twitter.com/fYEteP78vx

2nd placed Peeter Pruus and Tarvis have the most mental setups … 2×10; 580mm handlebars, skinny tyres pumped super hard.

Word from the chopper: one of the Peeters crashed in the singletrack. It looks to have left the Estonians with a technical problem! #CPT2016 pic.twitter.com/RCzU3IRBtw
