The distance of the last stage of the series was a frighteningly full 100 kilometers. Not all riders would have the endurance to complete this stage, and many who did would take over six hours to do so.

Mongolian rider Tuguldur Tuulkhangai may have been the first to complete the 100 kilometer course, but all riders who crossed the finish line had accomplished something impressive.

One contestant from Shanghai joked happily, "This is my first time to participate in this race. It's been fun, but at the end of the race, my butt hurts!"
