flyingfinn Apr 2017 8:33pm, 23 Apr 2017 759 posts	0 flyingfinn NE having supported leg 4 of a Joss that went through Styhead about 5 minutes up on Nicky and then took 20 mins out of the standard sub 12 schedule but was around 25 minutes slower than her over the leg I am highly impressed by those splits. I know how hard we worked on that section particularly towards the end (with good results) but Nicky would have just left us for dead. A superb performance. PS i'd be grateful if you don't try emulating her in May
