Boyer is 50 miles back
Now that the warmup is over (first 500 miles is called the warmup),
Boyer seems to be trailing the leader by about 50 miles in the Enduro division. Going through the Navajo Reservataion he was seen talking to a very young Navajo squaw, when his support car came up and said, "what the fu*k are you doing?" He replied in French, which made that two violations of his probation, but no police were present, so he remounted and started riding cursing in the prohibted French tongue. The Enduro division (sleep required) is moving quicker than the Traditional (no sleep) division, but we'll have to see if that will hold. It could be, because there are better riders in the Enduro. Tinker seems to be shadowing "Jock", but he may have picked the wrong horse to follow as he is in fourth place, as of Arizona. |

Tinker is not entirely human and at some point his supernatural character will emerge and he will devour the field. I'd say I've raced against him, but I haven't, I've been on the same course at the same time. He's a mutant who will do to endurance road racing what he did to 12 & 24 hour mountain bike racing.

Actually the Enduro event is becoming an interesting race. http://stats.raceacrossamerica.org/2.../overview.html |

Looks like Boyer could be the virtual leader considering that he is 2hrs back but has 3 extra hours off the bike. It may wind up with Boyer riding significantly faster than Robic once the time off the bike is factored in. The last 1000 miles should be a fun show. |

If you figure that Boyer has taken more of the required pit stop time, I figure Boyer is still a virtual 15 miles behind Robic (at the 815 mile mark). |

If I'm reading this right, then: @815.3 miles Rider____Avg Riding Speed Boyer____19.91 Robic____19.25 Juarez____19.05 Baloh____18.54 Souza____17.46 Boyer has taken 11:24 in pitstops vs less than 8hrs for both Baloh and Rubic. Baloh and Rubic are slightly under schedule for stops and Boyer is way over... so it is kinda tough to compare them. If they will all eventually have the same pitstop time, then Boyer is ahead. I think they'd be fastest by sticking to their allowed time off the bike, but Boyer's tactic may be to sleep more than his alotted 4hrs per day the whole way, and make it up by riding faster. If I recall correctly, he slept ~6hrs per day when he won before. If he needs to though, he will probably forego the extra sleep towards the end. I like the new enduro category, but I think it would be a better if they had all the riders stop for 8hrs at the same time every night. Then they'd get a decent amount of sleep, and it would be easy to tell who was leading. It would also be more of an ultra endurance *race*, and less of a sleep deprivation freak show... easier on the crew, too. |
