staggered start then?

Because there is a 100km parcours from Bellinzona over San Bernardino and Splugen pass down to Chiavena

I guess they mandate some sections, so they can keep an eye on everyone?

Guess they would all funnel together as they near the cp.

You know what it’s like when you’re riding 2-up - you set off with them on your wheel and you look round after 500km and they’re gone and you’re not sure where you dropped them :roll_eyes::rofl:

I see the leader Cristoph Strasser actually went via Chur/Thusis, rode the Parcours from the wrong direction, and then U-Turned to do it in the mandatory direction. Novel?

Worth noting that they’re not actually allowed to ride with someone else (other than pairs in the pairs category)
