"Justinas also had to backtrack and hitch a ride to replace a failed battery charger earlier on in the race. He also rode with a defunct derailleur that had to be shifted by hand for a hundreds of miles"
Joe Nation had an issue with one of his batteries

look uh also at that same bike shop I uh
bought a secondary access charger mine
started to play out one of my batteries
stopped working so I was very nervous
you ran out of gears then you're single
speed and I can't handle that so I end
up investing in a spare charger and
another spare battery
um
but made it through fine and I didn't
actually need the spare charger but
better to be safe

Let me try the app
My derailer is completely died and
everything I can do to uh fix it
but W respond anything so now single
speeding in a huge gear trying to get to Cuba
All in the same year, a very wet one, so maybe water-proofing ain't great and you live in Spain where there isn't any water. :)
The AMR issue was his own fault...
