One of her recent location updates was next to a house. She may have asked about the road going NE, got a call from a friend, got data signal, got WiFi, etc.
Wisdom, recoup and then retrace looks like the most likely option now.
She's still (just) the female leader at the moment, but Simone is only a couple of miles from passing the point at which Tanja deviated and Tanja has 20+ miles to do to get back to that point.
But if Tanja is only just behind after almost a whole day lost out of 5 days then there's no reason why she shouldn't get able to regroup and retake the lead. They're only 1/4 of the way through this race.
When she made the initial error it looks like (ML) Matthijs Ligt was right near her or they were even riding together?
I don't have Facebook, but still visit the FB group. Anyhow I'm thinking of posting Evan's day recaps because they make good reading, similar to Skinny's race analysis.
