With the advance notification of Teams giving us an indication of who might be racing, we had to wait until late last night for the final team composition to be made public.
With the Athletes’ Briefing comes the deadline for the submission of names for each team and today, there is a further deadline before the race start for any last-minute changes in the order.
Wow – we have some top names racing today.
