TheAdventurists.com - Full Articleby Mr Tom on: 13 Aug 2011 categories: Mongol Derby,
After a week of adventures, injuries and some of the toughest horse riding in the world we have a winner. Craig Egberink of South Africa who led the field for most of the race has crossed the line in first place. In what turned out to be a nail bitting finish Sanbayier who had been catching up over the last few days of the Derby crossed the line just 2 minutes later to claim second place. Below is the listing at the moment. These take a while to calculate with accuracy as we have to cross check all the results and timings from each station. As soon as we can give you full details we will publish them live here.
All the riders are now at the finish and the 2011 Mongol Derby has come to a close.
