Well, we have a daughter (lets call her Fruitloop) in training as a sports therapist, so me giving massages is a little redundant around here. I can be trained up on how to make you all whimper and cry as much as she does.
Realistically though, you are not going to get much in the way of a massage until the race is complete. Vehicles have to stay with a team apart of pitstops with a max duration of 20 mins. One who really really wants a massage could argue that a 20 min pitstop is enough time for a leg massage, but a 20 min pitstop means that it will take about 40 mins to catch up to the team rider (depending on how many teams/cyclists are on the road - i'm just going on how long it takes it to find Earthloop on the road after the start of the rides he does around here and after the little 'entertainment breaks' we take along the way).
What sort of support vehicle does the team have in mind for this adventure? Are we looking for rider comfort during their non cycling periods or minimising expense?
