CARNAGE !!!From my experience in stage races, we usually see the biggest amount of carnage on day 3 or 4 but day 2 of the Golden Trail World Series Final in Madeira Island was insane. From a 180 degree shift in weather going from wet and raining yesterday, today was sunny, hot and windy  = perfect combo for dehydration !I also managed to get on the course to give you additional updates on how the race went, as well as pre and post race interviews, enjoy !Your host Martin GAFFURI-Your champions of the day:Follow Nienke Brinkman on InstagramFollow Rémi Bonnet on Instagram-Results Stage 2Overall results-Follow the Golden Trail World Series on InstagramGolden Trail World Series WebsiteGolden Trail Series Final Website
