From there is turned in to a two rider race between Rees and Tasman Nankervis (Australia) with the duo closely matched towards the finish. Rees proved to have the most left as he raced towards the line covering the 100 kilometre course in four hours, four minutes and 50 seconds. Nankervis grabbed silver five seconds back, with Jon Odams (Australia) completing the podium, two and a half minutes behind Rees.
