Your right, I'd lost the black line that was showing their intended route after Portugal, I've managed to get it back now.

How did you get it back? It's been missing for me since they rerouted out of Portugal

I shut the page, deleted the cookies from my cache and then re-opened the page.

Should have started and finished their ride in Caen 😂
Tracker says they've already done the 28970km which is the target distance.

When they were approaching Auckland, the tracker 'Distance travelled' figure was a few hundred kilometres higher than Amy said their distance travelled actually was. Presumably she's using the numbers from their gps devices, not the tracker one, and they're still lower than the tracker,so they'll be only just over when they reach Sudbury on Wednesday morning.

That said, there appears to be nothing in the Guinness rules to say that they could not retrospectively declare their start/finish as being any point along the outbound route that they'll be rejoining later today. i.e. anywhere between Caen and Sudbury. If they were allowed to do that, and actually wanted to, they could knock up to 36 hours off their total time taken.

That's the 'around the World' bit done then (the green line being their track):
