At this rate the Balkans will be out of tubes after TCR has passed by.

To be fair, he mentioned patching some tubes. But the main strategy is clearly "get all the tubes!"

She wants to be able to ride with others when she doesn't feel safe. "It's stupid others don't want to ride with me for fear of being DQed."

Or maybe not. Strasser:

A cut in the tyre, 6 flats, only 4 spare tubes - these are the hard facts of the parcours earlier today. Was a tough one for the head. Nearly running out of food and water even if I was well prepared before the parcours.
Thankfully no crash. I survived this section and I am happy to ride on! This is TCR!

Victor 4th segment time between cp2 and 3.

AZ passed by Strasser. Not much info to be found. Some photos and someone on FB

5 flats, shredded tyres and another mechanical- And no sleep.
He will still be smiling, trust me.

AZ with a mechanical on the parcours? Strasser closing in.

AZ also used that not-banned small section so it's not a master move/spot by Robin. I think it's the only way to get from east to west without going full gravel south of the O6 motorway.
Strasser also taking the Robin route along the E87.

AZ lost/Robin gained half an hour with the detour/shortcut.

Looks like Robin took a bunch of small roads parallel to the banned E87 and crossed in the one section that isn't banned.

Looks like Strasser is accepting his third place. https://www.instagram.com/p/C99VlwHIfAH/

ClingfilmBas still going strong https://www.instagram.com/p/C98GhPGMIfZ/

Abdullah, Andre and Christoph's segment time between CP1 and 2.

35mm and he mentioned in his insta story that his route between CP2 and 3 is about 30% gravel.

At least part of it similar

Abdullah still at 90% moving time, guy just doesn't stop.

Victor back in the right direction.

How fresh can you look https://www.instagram.com/stories/robingemperle/3419269801854087344/

Josh also out

24-07-24 #18 Josh Ibbett Rider scratched 9:37 CEST via email due to knee pain.

Victor was riding hard but also stopped 7 hours first night and 8 hours second night, so looked like he was doing ok. He "won" NC4K last year so has a bit of experience.

Victor Bosoni (232), the 22-year-old wild card who has been riding within the top 20 at the front of the Race, is turning around to correct an unfortunate error. Victor had the unpleasant realisation today that he had left his passport and wallet 270KM behind him at a petrol station. A situation that would see some throwing in the towel, Victor has begun a tedious though strong-willed journey backwards to retrieve his essential belongings. Having already climbed over the Grossglockner, it looks as though he may be headed for Brenner Pass, which he will of course then have to come back over again once he has collected his things. Despite a near 550KM detour, the passionate Green Leaderboard rider is still aiming for the Finisher’s Party in Istanbul — a commendable show of determination from the young ultra cyclist.

Victor Bosoni turning back, looking like a scratch. Read about the kid's story and was really rooting for him. Such a shame.

For Victor it's even insaner. (if correct)
