Portugal’s Marco Martins has solo-led the way in day three of The Munga, after breaking free from rival Dion Guy late yesterday.
Kevin Benkenstein has also closed in on the gap to sit comfortably in the top three. Martins, however, looks strongly favoured to finish first as he closes in on gruelling 1070km race today.
