Noticed that there is a heliport very close to the end of the moped ride in Balzers on Andstein road.
Speculation - maybe the racer not doing the roadblock is transported by helicopter to Balzers.

Non speculation: :lol: The racer not doing the RB is transported by production van back to their teammate.

Helicopters or balloons :lol3: would have been SO much more fun!!
could this be peach giving us a hint? i have a feeling that the balloons/helicopter ride mite be the speed bump. its near yet time consuming! hahaah do i win?

Nope Afraid not. Helicopters and balloons were just fun comments. Production van is good.

And you already have the speedbump clue.  :neener:

Loose ends: (or do we have these already? ??? )

Have we confirmed the location of this train station? We should be able to match the nice blue taxi or the station...





They wouldn't allow a vehicle like that in Zermatt. Since I get the impression that teams are going in the station I will guess Sargans. If they are getting in the taxis then it is Feldkirch.
Physics alone is not enough.

Very nice Prophet, raina and Neobie!! Thanks!

Now...where do they need to LEAVE a train station by taxi besides Feldkirch? ??? Or is this a shot of two teams ARRIVING  at a station?

And raina, there ARE taxis in Zermatt, but they are little electro ones. We may see teams using those to get to the Pitstop.

The teams are getting off the train and into the taxis at Feldkirch. Compare the windows on the corner.





If Herbert/Nathaniel (leaving Salzburg 2nd) and Jet/Cord (5th) get off the same train at Feldkirch, and Gary/Mallory (6th) are with at least one other team ("Now all the teams have passed us."), it suggests that the bunching includes at least five out of six teams. Zev/Justin were barely ahead of Herbert/Nathaniel, so I'm guessing it's a total bunch at the beginning of the next leg.

CBS released that promo on their website it is a little different from the Survivor one:



Differences:

Kynt and Vyxsin riding a tram and wanting to Uturn the cowboys

Gary and Jet right on top of each other on mopeds

Gary leaving a gas station

The video description says:

What penalty would it be if they U-Turned them again?

They wouldn't be allowed too. You can't U-Turn if you don't have a Courtesy Of Photo.

It could be a bus from Balzers to Sargans?  Looks similar to one of the Liechtenstein buses.

Sounds like the speedbump then may be Gary  having to fill up the moped with gas?  Perhaps his moped is the only one that doesn't have enough gas to go all the way across the country?

As someone else suggested, what if it is a BLIND W-Turn. I do not see the point in the goths talking about the U-turn if they can't use it. And they are fans of the amazing race, so they obviously know they cant use it.

Can someone upload the video to youtube please :)

The rules may be different for this season of the Race.

Where are we getting that the Goths want to U-Turn the Cowboys?  Kent says, "I want to put some Cowboys on ice today."  I just take that he wants them out of the race or make sure they are last.

After watching the promo, I feel a fraction more optimistic for the cowboys. I know that promos in the past have occasionally showed the team that was then eliminated, but Cord saying "this could be our last leg today" would almost spoil the entire episode if they do end up eliminated.
Or maybe it's just wishful thinking...

This is the Cowboy taxi picture a few frames later.  I agree Zev & Justin are behind them.  But who is in the bright blue jacket and hat?

As mentioned upthread, Kent and Vyxen appear to be on the bus from Balzers to Sargans. It only takes about 20 minutes on the SBB website.
