I see a lot of participants with butt issues/saddle sores.
Is this mainly driven by lack of hygiene, hotness, sweat, rub or just lack of saddle adaptation before the race?
which tips can help mitigate the issue?
All of those and the bad roads with narrow tyres. Different reasons for different people, and 18 hour days are just hard, you really need to find out what works for you. The hike on the fourth parcours might be a welcome change for a moment.
