Lael Wilcox: around the World faster ..

[Ming the Merciless]

She is currently 64% moving time. Showing difference from Amy and Kyle in approach. Often true in TCR that the lead riders have a higher percentage moving time.

I think it's going to be fascinating comparing the two "teams" in real time as they dash round very similar routes!

Cheers!

One bit caught my eye:
"As a trial run, I will ride across the US in March with the support crew as a test of equipment, team
dynamics and to verify my fitness. We will simulate around the world pace & strategy, covering 240 miles per day
while optimizing sleep & recovery. This will also be a test run for live coverage and promotion."

Anyone seen any updates on that? Might be interesting to ascertain the size/type of support team/vehicles.

You can check out her Komoot profile for details - here's a screengrab showing her support vehicle for the trial run:

At least Lael has the decency to be moving whilst I am awake to watch the tracker.
