American Daniel Rudge crossed the finish line in Annapolis at 8:55pm on June 28.
He finished the race in 11 days, 5 hours and 23 minutes averaging 11.22mph.
Rudge had tight battles throughout the race with Newey and Popp. Those battles were close after the desert and remained that way till the finish.
Daniel enjoyed himself and rode a brilliant race. He finished and that's the main thing. To never give up, to always show determination and to finish - that's an achievement in it's own!
Daniel, congratulations on finishing within the time limit. You rode a brilliant race and we will hopefully see you next year.
Well Done!
