Yeah, irregular catch ups probably confused me confusion/distortion; more that he rather suddenly stopped building a lead and immediately went to maintaining it. Like I said, first real interest/perusal if such a race and find it fascinating - as @Thrasher said, if different circumstances could probably lead by more it just struck me as an interesting tactic that possibly didn't utilise, to it's absolute maximum, his enormous ability (basing it no knowledge of cycle racing whatsoever!) of that was his aim

His lead has gone up again ... to 468 miles (while Keith is resting, although Abdullah now seems to be resting, too).
He may be fatiguing, but probably not as much as the others. :)
He seemed to go very slowly up to the Cave-in-Rock ferry for a while--did that have anything to do with ferry timings?

He didnt just smash open a lead. He gradually opened it over a week.
Hes probebrly still going as hard as before. However hes fatiguing so his speed is lower thus his initial advantage (speed) has been reduced.
Kristof doesnt aim to open a lead early on, hes just faster and better disciplined so happens to open a lead.
