Rimas first to reach Checkpoint 1. Next checkpoint is atop the Stelvio Pass.

Looks like Rimas has stopped for the night in Geraardsbergen, near Brussels. One of the riders has pushed on into the night...

My money is on Juliana Buhring to be the first woman home, OK that is a pretty safe bet, but she is an extraordinary person and truly nice with it. I hope we can get her back to Edinburgh next year to give another talk at the Festival of Cycling, she was an inspiring speaker this year.

Also hoping that Colin Woof is still going, and that it is just his tracker that has stopped working.

What is RD up to go north?

380kms gobbled up at 02:17 and Rimas is 60kms ahead of the field so far. Only 600kms to Stelvio...that big, winding slope... Tough stuff.

Go Rimas! Night riding tactic? What else has he up his sleeve? Anyone know if they know of each other's position?

Allagaert on the move, Rimas now way south, but stationary
