The last four years this race was won by the Dutch technical university team, needless to say this race receives a great deal of attention in our part of the woods.

The first day they (the Dutch team) had some technical difficulties though and ended at the third place, hopefully they can make up for that the coming days and win for the fifth time.

They seem to have come apart. Hope there was much damage and they can put it back together again.

I think it was that windmill on the roof that caused it.

Could have been. Or maybe they needed to break and got stuck with their clogs. :sqfrown:
