Hope there won't be any lasting physical pain.
What an amazing trail you've left across Europe.

I want those brakes, they work.
They're flying past everybody with flat bars.

The bike appears at the end.

These guys enter the race every year.
They report warped rotors every year.
1'45 the speed differencial with a solo :)

Emily was 2 miles away from the leading team,
but needed some food ,
so stopped at a petrol station.

Looks like a 2 hour time gap now for Skinny.

Double front disks on motorbikes aren't that ugly.
Far less than a drum break .

I was thinking about one lever for front+ rear ,
and one lever for the extra front.

What defeats it,
is that you need to be able to shed speed constantly,
and disks are not good at this.

Emily hasn't stopped since yesterday,
she got overtaken briefly by Elena Solomides,
who then retired.
She's level with team 178 who had a luxury night in Mantova.

Maybe his route was on the M18, he's getting back to it.

The time gap yesterday 11 pm was 6 hours.
Mucho less now.

I've been wondering about those as well,
when I enquired with Paul Components about their use,
they said they wouldn't fit in, too thick.

The time gap,
from the first dot outside Vukovar,
to the last dot before the town Skinny is in now,
has come down by 30 min.

Emily has got a trio to aim for now , if she wakes up.
Could be a new team.

A totally different choice of transmission and bars,
but the details about the tubing might help.

Just checked times Josh took 4h30 to reach the control,
from where Skinny is now,
including 15 min stop.
So Skinny should reach the control well before 4.30pm,
smelling nice.

Is that an emergency V break under the stocker's seatpost collar?

I'm much more comfortable checking Skinny's progress this morning,
racing on fast but traffic heavy roads half asleep,
is some task.
The chase is on.

Emily Chappell seems to be coming up the field as well.

The off saddle time from Skinny is unreal: max 1h58
I would use the tri bars as a pillow,
and start sleeping forever.

Steady queue up Ventoux now.

Coyle has never been above 4 km/h since the begining of the descent.

From the Refugio Casa Assieta(top) to the bottom,
Skinny gained 10 minutes on Josh.

Ultan Coyle doesn't seem to enjoy descending.

The organisers car seems to pay Juliana Buhring a visit.
That makes Emily Chappell the first female racer?

I don't know if Stéphane 152 has got a freewheel,
but he's got two brakes on the pic page 11 .

I remember looking at Josh this afternoon,
and wondering if he was out of the race,
he certainly isn't.
His route around Lyon was the flatest and more direct.
But Skinny was faster on the section from the bottom of Ventoux :
Sault to Salérans in 2 hours,
10 more minutes for Josh.
I'm sure he enjoys a fantastically refreshing nap.

Best web cam I've found ;)

Skinny started the climb,
Bernd is an hour away from the start of the climb,
that must feel good.

Just ripped a steack of a passing cow.
First woman: Juliana Buhring.
Emily leading the peloton.
