Did not realise that. I wonder if it's anything to do with attempts to be seen to prioritise 'rider welfare' after recent years.
Met one of the organisers on TNR who stressed his efforts not to be recognised as an 'organiser' for similar reasons above but wonder if this will have to change as profile increases.
He obviously cared a lot about route and the spirit/unwritten rules of ultra racing.

GB DURO is an interesting one as time at checkpoints isn’t timed as such. Therefore it massively benefits riders who can do each stage without sleep. They could then conceivably spend 12hrs sleeping at each checkpoint before carrying on.
Sorry if that’s stating the obvious!
