Worth looking at just how much Andy Birkett has dominated the Dusi in the past few 14 years ... it is now 13 wins and 10 in a row.

At N2 Bridge, the top three positions are finalised with Andy Birkett, Msawenkosi Mtolo and David Evans pretty much confirmed. But the battle for fourth looks close with Scott Little and Banetse Nkhoesa together and locked in a tense strugge.

It is probably safe to say Andy Birkett will be picking up his 12th win and 10th victory in a row in the next 15 minutes or so.

At the N2 Bridge, less than 6km from the finish, Andy Birkett has lost 2 minutes 48 of his overnight lead to Msawenkosi Mtolo. But he still has a cushion of almost five minutes.
