Transcontinental 2016

I'm fasting the beta Fast Route tracker fills in some of the gaps/inconsistencies from what TrackLeaders gives you. For instance, you can get a definite list of riders in the order of place. Kristof Allegoert and Bjorn Lenhard are neck and neck and 40km in front of the guy running 3rd. Emily is currently 69th and Frank 81st. Rank however is according to kms travelled. Emily is taking a much more direct route than Frank is, but Frank may have opted for flatter/faster?

Last seen 18 minutes ago at 4kph on the way up to the Puy de Dôme. I'd fall off at 4kph.

Oh, no, he's back and close to the top and doing 12kph....

A question: he's about 220m below the end of the controlled route section, will he have to continue in the same direction or can he just turn round and go back down?

 

[steveindenmark]

. My guess is that he will go back and get some rest.

You're right, pointing towards the Atlantic is not the best way to going east to Switzers. He's back down the hill and last tracked on a roundabout on a route that'll possibly take him back via the north of Clermont Férrand.

So now Paul has overtaken Kristoff. Looking at the stats it appears that Paul has managed to ride about 50km less than Kristoff. It looks like they will follow the same route to CP2. Avoiding the mountains as much as possible.

Frank is looking about level pegging with Emily.
