A brutal 7km climb from the start split the field and Nepali National Champ Ajay Pandit was soon disappearing into the distance. Australian veteran mtb'er and paragliding instructor took chase but even with a number of minor spills during the 18km descent was able to keep Ajay in his sights. The final killer 500m, climb in full sun and on a heavily rutted trail, however meant that the 4 times Yak Attack competitor, Ajay, was able to hold off the australian and finish 40 seconds ahead Top Ten Results 7 Ajay Pandit (Nepal) 2:10:40 6 Phil Hystek (Australia) 2:11:20 9 Mangal Krishna Lama (Nepal) 2:26:24 10 Chandra Chhetri (Nepal) 2:33:34 8 Kaji Sherpa (Nepal) 2:40:15 5 Paul Errington (UK) 2:56:09 3 Andreas Danielsson (Sweden) 3:16:24 4 Martin Stenmarck (Sweden) 3:16:25 2 John Williams (UK) 4:00:36 1 Andy Foers (UK) 4:07:12
