Well predicted Ming
Ferry as just docked, 4 way sprint for 2nd place behind CS who can do a long no hands celebratory ride over the final parcours to Burgas, whilst crossing his fingers that a bear attack or late mechanical doesnt scupper him.

The Race Manual specifies ONLY 3 allowed crossing points - all ferries. I *think* this is because the bridges are fed by nasty highways (and only one is potentially useful to riders anyway).

Michael Broadwith found the road he wanted last night was a banned E road. After speaking with organisers to clarify his options, he has found a valid way to the checkpoint and is on his way there.

Can any of youse see the "Live" page? The other features seems ok - I had to use "Replay" mode too see who'd crossed the Danube. Aaaaaargh!!!

Thanks Ming! 
I wonder what the "mass start" from the ferry port looked like? Did any have the energy to elbow the other out of the way, then do a running remount??
(I have a lot of sympathy for Ulrich. He was a real contender, but I think developed a bad knee injury early on? And dropped back a little, then progress seemed to be more sporadic than the others. Then that ferry-not-a-ferry crossing - nightmare!!! And presumably he is currently on a route he had not planned in advance, so is at risk of further nav issues. Nicht gut!!!

I don't see that being against the rules. But lots of hills to lug it up!

I told you not to look at that web cam.

Can you float down a river on it ? I'm thinking a lazy river ride would be a nice interlude for them.
