those positions are just when they go through a checkpoint. so they're not very accurate a day after that happens...

they look about 10th and 14th for Fiona. They both seemed to have cycled through the night.

You’re right, the places only mean anything at a CP.

No. 197 looks like he’s setting a good lead, though it sounds like he’s carrying an injury (from the email bulletin)

MB looks to have checked into a hotel just after CP2.

Yes. They're allowed to buy stuff or services. They just can't have stuff like a team bus to kip in or hand them food.

Mike's progress has slowed. Maybe having some tech issues...?

Edit - as a total aside is there an easy way to embed Tweets on here?

Just Strasser so far. The other two are maybe 100km behind. Looks like a done deal now!

Aye. No 214 (Will) has just scratched from within the top 10 following crash damage to his bike in Bavaria. He's ridden it a long way from there to CP4...
