At dusk on Day 6 of the 5500km Indian Pacific Wheel Race, a gruelling self-supported race across the nation, some 59 riders remain in the epic trans-Australia adventure.
Belgian ultra-endurance cycling legend Kristof Allegaert remains in front – he has covered more than 2550km since leaving Fremantle at 6:00 am on Saturday. Mike Hall is some 80km behind Kristof with both riders expected to pass through the city of Adelaide in the early hours of Friday morning.
