Nine riders still on the road.
Four solos. One former pair now solo and two pairs.
Pair #213 Rebecca Harrison and Alistair McGregor finished yesterday afternoon.
Rose McGovern #136, Now leads the rest of the field. When I last reported, she had 194 km to go . A solid day of riding has brought her close to the Turkish border and she now has only 80km to go. 80 km is the distance from Islington to Saffron Waldon or the ride from Islington to Ware and back. She has been riding for quite a while already today and I think that we can expect her to finish in daylight. She set out to race and was in with the bunch through most of the Alps. From her social media postings, the ride has been harder than she imagined but she has kept going and cheerfully so. Really impressive ride. Sadly she is the only rider left on the road who appears to be tweeting or using Instagram but I may be wrong.
Simeon Jurukov #113 is close on her heels. 115 km to go. Again, he should finish today.
Then there is a gap to the next riders, all of whom look set to be on the road for a few more days.
Laurent Carlier (a former pair but now solo) #205. Yesterday when I reported he had 514 km to go. Now he is down to 400 km and in Macedonia halfway from Skopje to the Greek border. At that rate he should finish at the weekend.
Pierluigi Talamona #126 . Yesterday he had 587 km to go. This morning, 500km,. Still firmly in Kosovo.
Daniel Nicolas Munoz and his pair Guillermo Nicolas Munoz #209. Yesterday they had 663 km to go; today 578km. Just crossed the border into Kosovo.
Cheng-Hui Hseih #92 The last of the solo riders. He reached and then rested at CP4 yesterday and is now moving again with 675 km to go . Still firmly in Montenegro.
Finally, and possibly moving a little quicker now are the #228 pair of Mattia Biffi and Alberto Varni. Yesterday they had 228km to go to CP4. Now they are only 90km away. Hopefully they will reach it today. They could yet give Cheng-Hui a race.
