• The ferry does mean less miles cycled. It's faster not to use the ferry, but for the people who aren't aiming to win it's one option that helps get a big block of sleep in mid-ride.

    Rivoli to Vukovar =~ 1200km (avoiding motorways)

    Rivoli to Ancona =~ 590km
    Split to Vukovar =~ 430km

    (I picked Rivoli as most people went through it anyway)

    So that ferry saves ~180km, but it's an 10h45 crossing, which is why it's faster to cycle.

    Unless you're taking 10:46 to ride ~180km at the time.

  • And presumably your average speed after a 10h45 sleep is higher than if you had simply powered on.
