Does the rider manually set themselves inactive or does it happen when they don't move for a set amount of time?
They go grey if there's no update from the tracker for a certain amount of time (30 minutes I think), usually because the rider has stopped and turned off the tracker.
The trackers send their updates periodically, so if the rider turns it off the last position reported by the tracker might be quite a bit out of date.
Looking at Hippy's tracker, it's updating every 30 minutes, so he could have ridden on for a further 29.9 minutes from his last reported position before stopping and turning off the tracker. I doubt he camped, zooming in on the map I guess he ended up at Lochsa Lodge which is a few miles up the road.
We'll have more of an idea when he turns his tracker back on after the (hopefully) good rest he's had. Or if he finds a signal/wifi and tweets.

Ah yeah got you, it says he's active despite his dot being greyed out and very obviously not active. Does anyone know what dictates the dot greying out? Does the rider manually set themselves inactive or does it happen when they don't move for a set amount of time?
Regarding the race, it's looking pretty strung out at the front now. Big gaps between the front 7.
