But could only meet on Friday afternoon so not much use to most I would say. I will be looking out for the union jacks on the numbers and cheering you on from the trail edge anyway.
Good luck to all.
Don't think Meltzer's in great shape; he pulled out of Hardrock (but maybe saving himself for UTMB?) Not sure Jurek is in peak form either. Is Jez in good nick?

On current form Roes is the man, but Kilian will have home advantage

Should be a great watch, if you have a helicopter!

I'm starting Friday 10.00 am in Courmayeur, but would be great to have a shout out on the course Alan.
