From the FB video earlier today (at "Sheetz", with the drony American accent) it was tiredness, he had stopped and simply started out again the wrong way, it was only when he bumped into Lael coming towards him that he realised he'd done it.
The danger of being tired and just following the pink line on a GPS and not having it setup or looking at "Distance to next" or whatever.

Oops... I was going to say that a re-routing seemed implausible. His last apparent major deviation from the course was way back in Charlottesville so would have been a c.400mile detour.

Hazard of the job, I guess. He must be really tired as he's normally faster than her on the road so he should have been able to drop her. But tiredness + being pretty demoralised, leading for two weeks and throwing it away, clearly meant he couldn't!

Do we know why he turned round and went the wrong way? Tired, to repeat a missed section or whatever?
She has certainly taken her opportunity, increasing her speed since catching him.
