you're probably watching on "predicted mode" what this does is calculate from all the pings every 10 minutes and puts the dot where it should be using the recent trend of riding speeds. this is brilliant as waiting on dots to refresh is just a weird leapfrog move and requires interpolation to see what is really going on.

 

but obviously when someone actually stops. it needs to stop too!

 

also he is on IG live ucrrently https://www.instagram.com/p/CkQIy3JJxBc/

Benky is looking remarkably fresh and strong. That ankle of his not looking great though.

Solitaire estimates

KB in 9:40  out 10:40

AZ in 11:15 out  ??

Solitaire updates

KB in 9:40  out 10:35   [55min break]

AZ in 11:15 out  11:50   [35min break]

 

so the time gap is 1:15 and 23-25km.

I am a believer in slightly longer break equalling increased overall efficiency. I hope I'm correct.

Don't know Tim, but take my hat off to him. Hope he can pull through.

Tim is a legend. He's done more stuff than one can imagine. Freedom Challenge, Silk Road, 1000 Miler, paddled the Zambezi from source to sea etc etc. As tough as they come.

Benky has about roughly 20km to go and then he'll have a right turn which will give him a nice moderate tailwind.

But....  still 2300m ascent before that beer. The wind will help, a little, but much of it is a side wind, coming in almost directly from the West as he heads just to the East of North.

I wonder if anyone will shed some kgs off the bike weight in the last 100-0 kilometers, is that even allowed in this format or is it a case of, take no risks as anything can happen.
