I heard a Galipoli finish which would shorten it and probably make the run into Turkey less dangerous and monotonous however it doesn't sound nearly as cool as Istanbul in terms of race title and city.
It'd be cool to see a checkpoint in Austria, you'd probably get more Alps, Germany and it would shorten/end the Po Valley.
Another thing I heard but this may have been entirely rumour, sparked partly by Alleagert, was the idea of running the race from Gibraltar to St. Petersburg although it would probably be too long.

There no real rumours that I heard, other then investigating plans for a different finish strategy, some how making it safer when coming into Turkey/Istanbul. Mike was obviously checking out potential different checkpoints on the way home, he didn't let on to where they might be.
