RESULTS!!!!!

In the aftermath of a long and successful day, I'm too tired (yes, indeed, I watched 19 teams start the gruelling hill climb to Mt MacIntyre (of which 18 actually came back under their own power, but that's another story), and I actively encourged Asha in the Freight Pull) to write of today's exciting events except to post the results, and here we go
