Andy seems to be doing the same with Morocco bike adventure , you'll have to be in time at the first cp to get to continue for the full route.

Good insight! One thing that Nelson did that was interesting was to get the people who were out of time at CP1 to take a short cut to (?) Naryn. That meant they were ahead of most of the riders still racing. That made sense from the pov of not having people strung out in remote country but, at the time, I thought it seemed a bit unfair on the guys who were racing, if the scratchers get to town first, book the hotels and eat the food. Sounds like it had other effects too!
As soon as I did some research and stopped underestimating it, I decided it was way too hard for me and and dropped out!
