I think @frank9755 deserves a big banner for when before he gets home. Everyone on this forum should know his name. Maybe a job for @Moderators?

Well after considering quitting and taking a long sleep, Frank is back up amongst the people he'd been with previously which is a remarkable recovery. A few dots seemed to have stalled, perhaps having their own crisis but so far Kristof Allegaert looks untouchable at the front.
At the back Juju, Juliana Buhring, after hospital treatment and starting again, is perhaps another 24hrs off catching the back marker, mind you, he is 74!

It's a bit more complicated than that...
And there's a video online where she says she's padded a tyre with a towel because she's run out of tubes. Completely bananas!

In short, reaction to meds she was given for her knee, which turned out to be of the same type yet 4 times as strong as ibuprofen, which she has a known allergy to.
A good idea - we'll throw him a thread-party when he gets back. In the meantime, a bit of encouragement shouldn't go amiss: https://twitter.com/CycleChat/status/846852513072590851

I can't believe how close it is! Come on mike!
Kristoff took a long break on the Alpine mtn road last night and Mike Hall got very close before I went to bed. It's sometimes difficult to tell where things are up to as it depends how often the trackers update but that's the point where things seemed to change. Sarah Hammond has fallen a few hundred Km's back now and those two are probably going to push each other pretty hard to the finish.
This is the first time I've really got involved in dot watching, it's fascinating.

Love the tracker https://indianpacificwheelrace.maprogress.com/# - very detailed and enjoyed rewinding the timeline to watch Frank's tag scuttle along thousands of Km's of Aussie road. Hat's off to everyone attempting the race.
I haven't read-up on the rules / details - do the stopwatch markers on the tracker map indicate where riders need to get to each day? Are they check-in points that must be reached, or just organised stopping / rest points that are targets rather than absolutes?
