I dunno. They might. Thinking about it. What 1400k so maybe 45h riding. But still, a 20min powernap would do more good than you'd lose from 20min.
Also riding that deep into sleep debt is asking for something bad to happen.How long would it take you though? As you're not going to be riding in a fast group so will lose 4mph. So there is that too.
And caffeine. Good US army studies say 200mg every 2h to deal with sleep debt. (but you'd know that)

Yeah, I dunno, I'll see what happens. I ran low on food during the 600 so that probably contributed to a general feeling of 'meh' through the early hours. With the 'festivities' associated with PBP I reckon it'll be a lot more motivating. I really don't know. To be honest, I'm more worried about riding my road bike (rather than PX) than the sleep thing. I won't have done any long rides on that (due to TTing) before the PBP so I could end up in bits if it's rubbing me up the wrong way, if you get my drift.

I don't know that though because I've never made it through two days without any sleep. If I was at the front and racing it I wouldn't get any sleep, right? I presume the front of the race don't all just go "how about a powernap guys?".
