The final day

__At 10:40 pm last night, Robbie Britton rolled into the finish to claim 4th place in the inaugural Two Volcano Sprint. __

His duel with Barry Scott had been a long one - for nearly 700km, the two riders had been practically neck and neck but in the end Britton had just enough left in the tank to see it home.

Barely an hour and a half later, around midnight, Barry Scott was also rolling into the finish in Nicolosi. Having made the descent of Mt. Etna in sub-zero temperatures, Scott arrived truly frozen stiff - as he climbed off his bike, he pulled from his bib shorts the wads of rolled-up shopping bags he had stuffed there to try and shield himself from the icy wind.

Further back down the road, the rest of the field is now in a race against time to reach the Nicolosi before the finisher’s party and thus earn the finisher’s classification. Colin Addison, Pamela Capparulo and Mary Mackay are all - just barely - within striking distance of making the race finish in time but they will all have to ride hard without stops if they are to make it.
