It's looking really close at the front between Bjorn and Skinny. If I had to pick a winner I think @skinny is looking marginally stronger. However, I don't think there'll be much change in their relative positions today.
Skinny has had more sleep and done less climbing than Bjorn and is winding back in the lead as he has been riding slightly faster. However, their average speeds for today so far are exactly the same, 24.4km/h! But Skinny has been going longer and done more climbing.
Skinny did a massive day yesterday, 426km. That was based on a good sleep during the storm. Shorter rest for him last night so I don't think he will manage the same today as he will get more tired.
Bjorn did 388km yesterday. Today for him is flatter with a bit of downhill so he might manage at least a similar distance again, with a faster average speed.
Apparently Jonas Goy in 4th place spent 12 hours at CP1 debating whether to continue which was why he slipped back. He might not be out of the race yet as his actual average speeds have been faster than both Bjorn and Skinny. Yesterday was a monumental day for him, 473km at 25kmh with 8000m of climbing
Hard to say as much about Ian To as the tracker outage breaks up his stats, but he is slower than Skinny today on a similar route.
The first three have all done over a hundred miles already today*...!
*NB the days cut off at 10pm so that includes last night's later riding.
