Has she put her tracker on that cat?:-D

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.

It looks like he just took a big long rest. He's on his way again. 76.4km to go.

I'd reckon that he probably decided that he would sleep and then arrive in the day time.

Probably but maybe his body decided it would sleep without taking notice of Geoffroy's intentions. I know mine would.

Emily looks as though she is a lot further from the finish than Frank but she is actually about 40km closer.

I can see why Emily has to keep pushing on. To become the first woman finisher.

But what about the rest of the guys? I would want to get to the finishers party but would be tempted to take a couple of days at at a seaside taverna before finishing.

Or would you keep bashing along to get the best time possible?

Geoffrey's long stop was because his tyre exploded. No bike shops were open, so he had a good rest til he could get it sorted.

Funny you should say that...

Meanwhile @DarrensArse @DarrensBalls in fact the whole of Darren Franks is not feeling too well at the moment. He's decided to do a Hayden.

He's decided to do a Hayden.

Or not...

#TdF has got nothing on #TCRNo4 for sheer human grit and drama!

Yeah, I've been studying that out. The Free Route estimations to finish look all wrong.

Her projected route looks a very nearly as direct as everyone else's and a heck of a lot flatter once she gets out of the mountains she's in now. Whether she'll have to deal with a lot more traffic, I don't know.

Uta's update last night on Frank which somehow I didn't see. Explains the meet up with Greg. I'll watch for photos on FB.

After riding 1-2km apart the last few hours, the Race for 5th is ON!

So far, Croatia and Albania get thumbs up from Emily. Next year's cycling holiday destination, anyone?
