There's a start and finish and intermediate checkpoints, so there's always a branching and then converging nature during the race. The ferries with limited run times exacerbated this a bit. Essentially it became another checkpoint.
I guess... a checkpoint but with an added 'time barrier' factor that causes riders to group/bunch up while waiting.
So just an weird thing that happened this year, and not something that's been done regularly in the past?
ferrys are the 2022 theme, pioneered by PanCeltic
