Emily made Pluzine (CP4) in the wee hours and made a new friend!
As far as I can tell is currently at CP4b Zabljak.

Looks like Emily has company, with 3 other riders (Chris White #21 and Josef and Bernd Frick riding as a pair under #225) up at Zabljak at the moment. So far it appears no one is any particular hurry to leave!
ETA: Nope, the trackers have caught up, Chris moved off a while ago. Emily's and the Fricks' readings are at least 1 hr old so hard to say where they are now.

Interesting strategy here, as Emily goes back to pick up the "goat track" option. She appears to have decided to hug the coast somewhat, the other obvious* options being either a slow zig-zag route through the mountains or the terrifying truck-driver roads of Bulgaria (which Kristof used but are apparently mythic in their levels of terror, especially at night).
* There are no doubt other, less-obvious options! And I may be mis-reading what her plans are.

James Haydn has belted on and looks like he will get third place, which is excellent considering his illness earlier in the ride.
Frank and Emily are still bowling along nicely.

Considering there are aleady 3 finishers*, and James has 100km to go, I think 3rd is unlikely.

I doubt if he will complain with 4th. That is providing he can get a ferry during the night.

Peter Sandholt from Denmark moves int 5th position.

Frank and Emily are taking dramatically different routes but are very nearly the same distance from the finish. Which route will prove to be faster? Very interesting.

A bit of interest back in 6th place.
Geoffrey Dussault has been in Isala for 11 hours.

His tracker's off isn't it? Pretty sure it was last night anyway.

Does that mean a faulty tracker or a scratch.
I think Emily is now making full use of her entry fee. She is so far ahead in the womens race that she has gone on tour.
