Is skinny more powerful or on flatter terrain? Stuck on phone today so hard to check.
Will the speed difference evaporate once they are on the same route?

Hard to know. I think Skinny has picked a better route as he has only ridden slightly more km than Bjorn but done a lot less climbing. He's slightly faster, but Bjorn has ridden for slightly longer.
If anyone could solve the relationships between climbing and speed and rest and speed, they would know the answer! I'll have to settle for saying they are pretty closely matched.Edit - they've both done almst the same amount of climbing today so suggests Skinny more powerful. But lenght of food / toilet stops, etc also a factor

Skinny now faster than Bjorn today - 24.5 vs 24.0 km/h. Not decisive but small differences magnify with distance and tend to increase.
Quick maths: Bjorn has 2106km to go, @ 24km/h = 88 hours.
Skinny is about 60km behind so needs to be about 0.7km/h faster than Bjorn to catch him.
It's very close!
