• So Min was joined last night by Alberto Varni and Mattia Biffi. The photo shows enormous relief. It is good that she has people close by for this last stage.

    It is not clear whether she is risking disqulafication and riding with them or whether she is out on the road alone a little ahead of them. I think that latter as she appears to have started around 9 am local and the other two around 20 minutes later.

    What is also unclear to me is how far she has to go. Trackleaders gives her around 175km to go but this appears to be a direct line and would require her to ride over the sea. FreeRoute has it as 449 km but this seems rather too far.

    She will finish, at latest, by tomorrow night, I am confident. She could finish before then. Exciting times tinged with sadness that this great event is coming to a conclusion.

  • You can probably still follow Min's progress as she heads towards Taiwan au velo, provided she keeps the tracker after Turkey.
