It's all gone a bit weird again.
I saw at about midnight last night that Josh took a wrong turn after leaving CP4 but he is on his way to Istanbul now.
I thought James was resting in Kotor before climbing to CP4 but it now appears he is heading North away from Istanbul and has not been to CP4. It looks as though he has lost his way for the moment.
It's beginning to look as though Josh has tipped the scales.
Emily is still going it looks like she is snacking in Postojna, Slovenia, this morning.

Hadn't seen the report about the RTA. Sounds like the boy is OK(if you can call a fractured vertbrae and pelvis OK).

Emily has scratched too. In hospital in Ljubljana because of chest pains.
Meanwhile, Josh is at the Bulgarian border, a whole country ahead of his nearest rival.

Yes I have just read about Emily on Twitter. She seems chirpy enough. No pun intended :0)
She is new at this ultra game and Im sure she has learnt loads. A fantastic achievement.
No women finishers this year.

Josh is in Turkey with just over 225km to go. Alexandre (596km) is still in Macedonia, meaning there's the whole length of Bulgaria between them. Barring mishaps.....
