Yep, doesn't look like you can get on to the 66 from Banska Bystrica without going on the R1 (which will be prohibited for bikes).
Looks like Skinny is off the 591 and trying to go through the villages to join the 66 at Salkova (so no problems with the R1) and then head up the 72 over the Low Tatras (just 1200m) and down to the 18 towards Poprad before swinging North for the parcours.
If it works it could be enough to take 1st as Bjorn is taking a longer route via the 59 and Ruzomberok (or cutting that corner with the 2224 via Zelezno).

Yes, I've ridden that bit on a tour four years ago. They were building a new road in the bottom of the valley and we could go round the roadworks and then got onto a decent, fast road, but it was a bit of a mess. DK how it is now. If he could have got through that way it would have been a shorter route than the one he is taking.
Skinny going a different way, maybe he has done better research
