THE BEST BIKE FOR A 200KM FLAT MTB RACE!?

Bartje 200, a Dutch classic, 200km of sandy roads and MTB tracks in the Netherlands. Flat as a pancake, but still pretty technical, what could be the ideal bike for this? We test our three top picks and let you know at the end what we'd choose for next time :)
Oh, and we got pretty dirty.
