CONGRATULATIONS DOMINIQUE BRIAND: (50-59) - 1ST

Frenchman Dominique Briand won the 50-59 Solo Category. He crossed the line at 12:55am after 11 days, 9 hours and 24 minutes. He averaged 11.05mph.

Dominique rode a good race. Unfortunately, Hermann Bachmann, the other competitor in this category had to pull out due to a severe neck injury. We wish him a full recovery.

But Dominique rode brilliantly. He finished. He battled home. He showed courage and ambition and rode till the very end.

At the start of the race, Dominique hoped to be an official finisher and will make every effort to win. He intended to start cautiously. He did just that. He adopted the plan many other riders adopted and rode to that plan to perfection.

He had a great support crew who helped him achieve his result.

Congratulations Dominique Briand - Well Done!
