Much smaller field. A good friend of mine finished 35th overall and he wouldn't even place in an event like Roof of Africa.
Or at least less talented field.
The only guys I'd consider "big names" at this race were Webb and Knight. And arguably Graffunder and Ashburn, although they are only really known in the US.
Whereas a race like Roof of Africa attracts all the big names.
Just my opinion.
