Interesting. I wonder if that is Evan's last stop and he'll try to ride it in from here.
Kraig now exactly 100 miles ahead but he is sleeping and Evan riding, so it will come back down, most likely to close to the 50 miles it has been for the last couple of days.
Aout 850km to go (for Kraig / about 1,000km for Evan)
FWIW what I would do is I would have a distance in my head before the race from which I would aim to ride in without sleeping. It might be 500km - 800km depending on terrain, distance, etc, and not really depending on what others are doing. But I've never been in a position to try to win anything, and have misjudged these efforts before, so I'm not saying my strategy is the best one!
Would be good to good to know how someone with experience of winning these duels would approach it: @skinny - what would you do? Attack, or wait for the other guy to make the mistake?
