Bam. That's one of the aspects of the race I always pondered about. There's no avoiding sleep. I watched the wild coast race carefully, and it seems like whomever had a structured sleeping plan, performed more predictably and thus preformed better on the long run, which ponders the question of how things progress from CP2 rest time.
I haven't read @skinny analysis, but what do you mean by 20 minutes? As in sleep time?
He's rocking some serious pace and has overtaken, so must be feeling pretty damned good -
One of the key messages of @skinny 'a YouTube commentariesnon the TABR and the Irish race came from his analysis of the sleep patterns of the racers.
It seems that he is practising what he recommended. Sleep is vital. He has clearly learnt that lesson over the past two years. In his first race he was doing 20 mins at a time. No longer.
I had a quick look at the top three earlier. They'd all for a similar pattern with 4-6 his last night but, of the three, skinny had the longest rest and the fastest average riding speed. Bjorn was marginally slower but had ridden an extra couple of hours while Geoffroy was the slowest of the three.
Tonight it looks like skinny and Geoffroy might have stopped in the same place, early, to miss a storm
