gillies-
FRRT has estimates of climbing but only for what they've done. I don't have Skinny's climbing figure for when he was at CP3 in order to compare against Bjorn when he gets there.
FWIW the figures are now:-
Skinny: 29036m
Bjorn: 27949mSkinny has obvious been up to CP3, down the other side, back up again and then back South.
The climb up to CP3 is 1000m vertical gain alone. We'll see what Bjorn does (whether he goes up and over or round the side to the bottom of the CP3 parcours.

Skinny's secret seems to be his route (and his strict sleep schedule and meticulous planning):-
According to FRRT's estimates of route distance:-
skinny has ridden 2031km with an estimated 1471km to go.
Bjorn has ridden 1955km with an estimated 1741km to go.
So skinny's lead is at least 1741-1471 = 270km.
Taking that off what he's ridden means he would have ridden just 1761km to be where Bjorn is, so 194km less than Bjorn.
