Final time 1:42 and 2...Fast.
Back stretch is being run into a pretty good headwind. Sprints start on the turn. Therefore, the frontrunners do not have to run INTO the headwind, yet benefit from the wind at their backs down the stretch. In sprints only!!!, frontrunners could have a very good day.
For amusement only.
it is very windy there, you can hear it on the announcer mics
