Anyway, Adrian still in the small group of 2nd, 3rd, 4th place - only 8mi separating them. Sprint finish after 40 billion miles... ouchies

ISO 8601 or go home.

Tell that to browser developers (yeah I'm looking at you, Chrome), Americans, actually all users.

Well it's actually 23:30 on the 24th, for a few circuits or what.

But I'm so confused. Let's just hope I'm not a day late to start. That'd be a handicap.

I'm sure (well, I hope) the rider packs have accurate info and you're not waiting on a website update :P

There's a proper rider briefing at LMNH in the 2nd week July i think. Should also be screening inspired to ride film the trans am one, I believe. Will let you know.

Cool. I recall they did similar last year when I was stalking Ishmael during his ride.

I'd love to have a look at that flick.

Jesse has less than 100k to go! Go Aussie!

Adrian seems to have got himself back into 3rd place too. Go Adrian!

Interesting (if you're me) that the Tour Divide and TransAm share some of the same roads (they obviously have to cross at least once but there's more than that):-

• A short stretch of Route 278 between Jackson and Dillon (Montana)
  
• A few bits just South of Yellowstone (although TD goes off the side of 287/26)
  
• Some bits around Breckenridge
  
  

The timings might have been good that some of the riders were on the road at the same time too.

Just seen that Jesse has been posting to Instagram the whole way... https://instagram.com/dexterskidmore/

Pretty sure Donna Buang isn't on the TransAm route though with my nav skills I could be wrong... ;)

Adrian currently in 5th. Kim seems up for the final push. Carlos is between both as his tracker is 'broke' (stealth mode).

Big effort needed from AO for second.

Jessie is done. Solid.

Ah, I see them hiding there. Cheeky.

Anders Tesgaard has been hit by a car in RAAM. He was in 3rd with 400mi to go. Now in Critical condition in hospital :(

"They are having some really shit luck near the end. Tornadoes are just about to hit the main field - its gonna b fuckin chaos!"

Horrid.

I've had nightmares where I get crushed by a lorry. Fucking grim. Scares me up good.

And RAAM is won by another Austria Severin Zotter

They make them strong over there.

Or just mental.

LOL at this line

'Zotter averaged 15 mph through the course, maxing out at 21.15 mph.'

Greger's up to 13th - would like to see him break top 10, but don't think he's got enough road left to reel them in. Forecasting he'll catch one, another will retire, and a finish of 11th.

Greger Sundin ended up in 14th. I've just found out that he was hospitalised in the early stages of the race - the details aren't clear yet, but seen a photo of him in a hospital bed with a bunch of tubes hanging out of him. Amazingly tough little bugger to get back out there and finish within the time limit, massive respect.

Do you know him or something? Sorry I've not been paying attention/killed a lot of brain cells recently.

This guy?
