Cap253's now routed back onto the road that everyone else to, so not going to pile on down the flat area in the west of Albania. Could be he didn't fancy more climbing as the route everyone else took has a lot more elevation, at least to my highly untrained eye.
Sounds like a better explanation. I looked at the elevation again and it's not that bad, though I don't have 10 day's riding in my legs and it would probably still make me weep.
