Yes they are. But I think this was inevitable one day, sadly. [much as highly reliable models of tyre/frame/etc will eventually fail for SOMEONE on a long-distance event. It's just a numbers game ...]

Why would anyone want to do that ? At any time ?

If I need a big sleep, does the clock stop?

Absolutely, every rider gets a good 9 hour sleep in a king sized bed every night after they have the hotel massage and the mechanic works on their bike.

As a cyclist in my advanced years and very interested in the Transcontinental. I was wondering what the age is of the oldest competitors. Would be very interested to know if someone has the info.

Parky is riding in perfectly calibrated audax-style - average speed of 15.3kph :P
(He had a total mare on the TPR, so I'm rootin' for im.)
Can't see the other two - lost in the crowd. My mate Vilas is pretty slow, and posted a pic of big ice-pack on his knee - worrying ...

If anyone wants to find someone, go onto the tracker and select the "replay" option
https://www2.followmychallenge.com/live/tcrno8/?49.134068,12.146359,8
then hunt for your rider name down the left, when you click them a green "worm" shoots out tracing their route. You can show multiple riders. You then have an idea where to expand the main "live" map to find thee number.

That sounds more like the "Details" dialog. (for me, Replay displays on the left, Details on the right.)
Either way, good ways to find an individual đź‘Ť
(The replay feature is brilliant - especially if you zoom in on CP1 to watch the comings and goings overnight!)

I'm too stupid to work the tracker. I'm relying on this thread.

Has he reached the Arctic? That is worry.
Tap / click details, search for riders you are interested in, tap / click star. Then filter by favourites and just those riders will be shown. Makes it somewhat easier to track them.

In which case, don't read this ...
https://www.northcape4000.com/
has riders on exactly the same roads thru Munich today - except they've just started, and are headed north.
Someone clevererer than me can work out all the fly-bys!
EDIT: there is a piccie on twitter of two ladies meeting up, each wearing a cap from their respective races. It's brilliant! Will try to paste in later, but probably easily googlable ...
