• Are TCR race courses always designed so that there are these 'groups' of finishers arriving at the end? Or is this year an anomaly?

    The ferry crossing seems to have resulted in groups of 2, 4 or currently 6 riders coming home pretty close to each other. Could be even more once all the riders currently on PC4 get to the crossing in the next day or two.

    I wondered if it was a deliberate tactic by the organizers meaning they only needed to man the finish for say 4 or 5 hours at a time, rather than have to hang around all day and night? (Or perhaps I'm reading too much into it)

  • I doubt it. They'd already used Burgas as a start so had the knowledge to use it as a finish and the road in Romania was probably scouted when they were doing the Transfagaran research from a few years ago.

    Also, there's trackers, so it's not like you have to hang around all day/night. You know when riders will be getting to you.
