Bjorn being super-obedient of the rules in changing his route.
Looking at Google Maps, it seems he's completely changed his route to avoid the tiniest bit of motorway. Would it really have mattered?

He'd probably receive a time penalty (of at least a couple of hours) which could be enough to lose him the race if it ends up being that close. Not worth the risk at the pointy end of the field but I'm sure some further back will just take the penalty.

I thought motorways were definitely prohibited and sanctions would be applied to anyone found riding on them?

If you lose because of it, yes. Motorway is illegal and risks DQ or time penalty.

I wonder why he didn't ride the little section offroad along the water to end up on the 2420 https://goo.gl/maps/BFZbPaYJQo82

That's right. I've ridden the exact route that Bjorn was trying to do.
I think we debated what to do for a while, then I persuaded my wife that we could brave about half a mile of motorway, and it was fine.
After that the 66 is a lovely fast road, then a pleasant climb up a valley to an alpine col with a pub at the top!
