Team Biking Vikings of Denmark leads the under-50 two-man race by a whopping 7 time stations and appears to be gaining momentum, even after an overnight fall. We caught up with Hans Anton Nygaard in the rolling hills of eastern Ohio who went down hard in the early morning hours of last night on the poor roads in Ohio. He was back in the game, but sported a Telfa bandage on his right elbow. Nygaard explained that he caught his front wheel between a gap in the concrete.
We followed team JDRF through the twisting hillside last night and it would definitely have been an easy thing to do. The roads were constantly up and down, narrow, with no shoulder, and numerous wheel-swallowing gaps in the pavement.
Nygaard was still moving along well in the morning humidity. They've been taking relatively long two-hour shifts, but Hans told us they would shorten the interval to one hour as they close out their assault on Annapolis.
