I do hope that they keep going. We have seen a few scratches in the past day or two but, having ridden for over two weeks, the remaining few clearly have the staying power - both mental and physical - to finish.
It should be noted that one Transamerica rider is still underway. I suspect that the TCR riders will not be as slow.
The vast majority of the remaining riders are at or over the border with Greece and so should finish within 2-3 days at most. A good number will finish in time for the informal party on Tuesday.
Let's look, instead, at those further up the course.
Mark Hunter #118 is in central Macedonia but has not moved for a day and a half.
Simeon Jurukov #113 is a little behind him in Skopje and, although currently stopped for lunch, still underway.
Rose McGovern #136 is a little further back and stopped, no doubt to tweet or instagram.
Laurent Carlier (a former pair but now solo) #205 is at CP4.
Pierluigi Talamona #126 is just beginning the parcourse to CP4.
Cheng-Hui Hseih #92 is about to leave the coast of Croatia for Bosnia and is only a realtively short ride from CP4.
Daniel Nicolas Munoz and his pair Guillermo Nicolas Munoz #209 are on his heels but using a slightly less coastal route.
Finally the #228 pair of Mattia Biffi and Alberto Varni are down by the sea in the town of Senj in northern Croatia.
