Thanks - and well done for last year. Tough ride.
I was wondering if the weather was good. A bit more daylight must help a bit too. Probably even harder to find supplies and hotels this year with COVID. Maybe fewer excuses to stop!Ulrich now closing in on Vesuvius, should finish this morning (or early afternoon if the climb is very hard). Sofiane 40km behind and two others already in Sicily.

I did this last yr; ferries were plentiful and only a 20min crossing
They had food and coffee on them; bliss
I remember wishing the crossing could have taken much longer !
This year everyone seems much faster; even guys who did it last yr. Not sure if weather is better or just competition lifting the pace. Very impressive either way
From memory the Appenine section is properly exposed and limited food and hotels; this is where wheels can and will come off...
