Transcontinental Race No. 8 - TCR8 - #TCRN08 - 2022

They all did the CP3 Parcours, after CP3.

Yeah, my point was people getting agitated he was going the wrong way. In previous editions it hasn't mattered when you hit the CP, so long as the parcours is done right and in the right order. As Samuli clarified.

If you ride the CP4 parkours west to east, then the turn south is at Brezoi, but the main road is an 'E' road (which is banned I think). There is a side road on the other side of the river which it appears you can only access via a footbridge after riding on the E road for a few hundred metres, somewhat intrigued to see if this is the route people will take (and if it will turn out permitted).

20 mins between them at CP4

I think the idea is that you could go down the valley from the CP, ride back along the parcour. Rather than climb back up. Not sure there is a situation where it would be worth it.

Yeah a basic kit, that every rider needs to carry, it already exists in part with stuff like lights, helmet, hi viz but certain tools, certain clothes maybe.

Not dumb thoughts, but missing the obvious:
Sausages in tire, ride on, find tube, eat sausages, win.

You'd have to check they all still had everything at the end. More admin than it's worth imo.

lmao

Has he deleted it?

Seems to be still there, the few videos posted an hour ago, after the picture of his leg.

Just watched, he starts telling a 'funny story' but I think he deleted one video as now his funny story is that he saw Ulrich.
If you still have it in your cache, film it with your phone!

Looks like a section of video is gone.

No it's not.

Oh yeah, one part missing in middle now, can't see it either anymore.

Well that makes it look even dodgier now :S

Borrowing money from another racer is interesting.
Why would you do that?
There should be that last emergency bar, and water can be found for free?

If you weren't carrying enough food, trying to save time or weight, forgot to get cash and/or you were going to lose too much time going elsewhere to get food... all reasons.

To me it seems pretty clear to be outside assistance and the fact he's deleted the video segment means they know it's dodgy. I wonder who else might've seen it.

Adam is taking it to Christoph on the parcours, good battle.

Is Wednesday morning a fair guess for when we will the first riders arriving at the finish?

No way earlier. Late afternoon to evening tomorrow I bet.
