Alex Randall finished strongly to take 6th place in the Lithuanian WRE MTBO Middle Distance race on Friday. Alex started well and was in a medal winning position until control #8 when he made a 2 minute error. But strong riding over the last 10 controls (7 split times better than the winner Tonis Erm from Estonia) saw him take 6th, 3 seconds out of 5th place. The Long Distance event – the distance Randall has had success with over the past 7 years – rolls away today.
