The way I follow these rides is...usually memorise a place on the map and see how close they are to it every time I check the map, kristof and mike are nearing the iron knob town! they've got a massive ore mine there!!!

Just been youtubing and found a interview with a rider in a Leicester correct cycling club jersey I believe he's shell on the entrants list . I see this club out and about most weekends wasn't expecting to see the jersey on the inipac another dot to follow

Juliana Buhring has scratched but not scratched

I think I might have stayed overnight in hospital on discovering blood in my wee, not got back on my bike but that's probably why I'd never make an ultra distance cyclist!

If at first it all goes wrong - you can always start again!
Juliana Buhring to restart after serious illness
Never, ever, give up!

3am in the morning and Frank is off and running. Meanwhile the gap between Mike Hall and Kristoff allegaert is staying around the 60 to 100km mark. neither of them seem to stop.

Here's a graph of stop time of the leading riders

Beats me how they can survive on so little sleep. Something like 20 have abandoned now. Frank is in about 17th place and the leading trio are some 900km ahead.

What do you mean?

At 6:00 this morning it looked like he'd lost the lead by about 50k or so.
