Pune Chapter — Loop 9

Loop 9 took two, both with eight yards behind them. Bib 12 (Prashanth Mahadev) did not go out again. Bib 13 (Omkar Jadhav) came in to win it, ran the quickest loop 8 of anyone at 41:46, and could not work out what went wrong. 7 still on course. Tightest return: Bib 6 (Laishram Singh), 6 minutes 58 seconds to spare. Around four o’clock, for a moment, strong wind and heavy overcast came through; then the weather turned pleasant.
