Boyer arrived 45 minutes behind Baloh in Alamosa, Colorado at the 977 mile mark. But Boyer has taken 4 hours more of the mandatory sleep, that Baloh must take sometime. Robic has fallen to third, but he may be catching up on some sleep. If Boyer keeps this up, he's going to win the Enduro, and also beat the Traditional division winner who doesn't have any sleep requirements. Baloh and Boyer both are ahead of the Traditional leader at this point. Hold on to your hats folks, we got a barn burner this year.

That would be called the Tour de France. It's for pamperd folk who need closed roads, and dozens of support personal to keep them on their bikes. To be serious, the Enduro division is new this year, mandatory 40 hours of sleep before the finish line. I think it will eventually replace the Traditional division, which in even my opinion is a joke, because sleep is optional. In a competitive situation, where sleep is optional, people will naturally do stupid things, and put themselves in very dangerous positions.

Transcontinental ride covering about 3,300 miles in 23 or 24 days averaging about 140 miles per day. See: http://www.pactour.com/ I have two friends who've done it, one of them twice doing both Northern and Southern crossings. You'll either love or hate the concept. It's a lot of time in the saddle.

Good idea. With 8hrs of rest per day I think many more good riders would sign up to compete. It would make it a better endurance race by removing the sleep deprivation factor. It would give the crews a chance to get better rest also.
Boyer, Juarez, and Souza are currently well above their required avg of ~4hrs per day off the bike. Obviously 4hrs per day isn't enough for most people to function properly.
I propose having everyone stop at the next time check every night after 10pm, and then starting up 8 hrs later. That way it would also be easier to tell who was really in the lead.

It's more fun handicapping the race day to day with insufficient information. Those who cannot handle ambiguity are a bunch of mama's boys.
