Skinny definitely riding faster than Bjorn on the same territory today. Hard to see him not making the catch somewhere in Austria.
Bjorn possibly had a better first day route. If their routes diverge and Bjorn has a better one again, he might gain an hour, but it would only put off the catch for a few hours.
Real pressure now - every minute not riding is giving the other an advantage. But Skinny is in control, he knows he can sleep as long as he wants and still catch Bjorn, while Bjorn doesn't have that luxury. It's a bit brutal but, if the other guy rides faster than you, there is nothing you can do unless he screws up or gets lazy and neither of those are likely!
