Nice photos :)

What #tcr09 T+3 1 on your garmin ?
A custom field who use the start date ?

the garbage on fire, it's not your first. You have the same but bigger last year no ?

Imagine doing a 4000km bike ride, entirely self-supported, and completing it in under 9 days, after spending 18+ hours PER DAY cycling!
This is why I say these riders are a class above #TdF riders.

Strasser is only minutes away from winning this year's #Transcontinental race! What an incredible ride he's had! 7 days 5 hrs moving time, with only 1 day 10 hrs not on the bike, riding!

Strasser is undeniably the race leader in the #Transcontinental, but I wonder if Gemperle has the legs to take a shortcut over the mountains, as soon as he clears the CP. If so, he just might be able to get ahead of Strasser, who's taking the long way round.

Crumbs, on the #Transcontinental, there are still riders in France, while the leaders crossed Switzerland, the top of Italy, the edge of Austria, Slovenia and are now about to cross into Croatia!
The next stage to CP3 will be tough, and sleep deprivation will play a part!
Between the 2 race leaders, Strasse spent 12 hrs so far not moving, while Gemperle spent 17hrs not moving. Seems Gemperle's had more sleep and that can become a deciding factor later on #TCR09

Wow! The #Transcontinental's very strung out already. Some riders are still in France, while the 2 race leaders are already in Austria!

Quite sad to see a growing number of DNF tags on the #Transcontinental. Every person who had to pull out of the race will have a story to tell. And even by starting, the achieved more than most of us:

Right, enough dotwatching for tonight. Time I get some sleep in!

Seems Robin Gemperle is 1st to reach CP1 on the #Transcontinental. Early days, though - despite appearing to finally have grabbed some sleep. sleep deprivation must surely catch up with him at some point.

You ARE watching the Transcontinental Race, aren't you?
Closer to the roots of the TdF than the modern TdF, the Transcontinental is a gruellingultracycling event: https://www.willcycle.com/2023/07/25/the-transcontinental-race/

Alas, my project to plan my #TCR09 route has now morphed into a 5000-line rust codebase...
