since they're already in Turkey, are they're going to places like the capital, Ankara or Galipoli or to the ruined city of Troy and do a task there about the Trojan War? :duno:
Troy is in Turkey?? wow, never knew that  :gaah:

We'll see how Magic Mike affects the perception of their line of work when it opens in a couple of weeks.

Who is Magic Mike?

It's a movie coming out soon about male strippers.

From squad_Deep_Pond timeline.....

Left Newark, NJ on SK 908 @ 7:00pm to Oslo on June 7.
Left Oslo on    SK 2730 @ 9:50 am on June 8.
Arrived in Moscow (SVO) @ 2:17 pm. June 8 (Moscow time)
Cleared imigration and customs @ approx 3:00 pm
Arrived at probably a rented apt @ 4:35 pm
Went for walk and spotted Phil @ 6:42 pm Moscow time in front of the Bolshoi Theater

 From his handle....I would suspect he is a junior swimmer/diver and attending some kind of swim meet.

SO Bolshoi Theater would be the PitStop right? He said Phil is waiting for the teams. I thought Phil would avoid taking pictures because it might be spoiled.

It's interesting how we're having as much luck having Phil spotted, apart from the Racers, than the Racers in action. Guess Phil is finally becoming a world wide celebrity. ;)

While it seems we'e not sure if there were one or two legs in a couple of the countries, it does seem though we're having better luck this time around than TAR 19 or 20.

And Magic Mike (IMDb link) is a quasi-autobiographical film of Channing Tatum's experiences as a male stripper in Tampa before he made it as an actor. The film is directed by Steven Soderbergh  comes out June 25th. and also stars Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer,  Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello, and Olivia Munn. It also open in the UK the first week in July.

According to Weather Underground, sunrise today was at 4:46 AM local time, and sunset is at 10:11 PM local time. So it's still light out. But the weather at the moment is light rain showers and a chance of thunderstorms.

IST Istanbul SU 2131  Aeroflot 4:25 PM  5:29 PM   (actual arr--was scheduled for 4:29)


So a possible evening/night arrival and leg?? Or one heck of a long daytime leg!

Good job SoYoung!! :hearts:

RFF:
Shanghai :yes:
Surabaya :yes:
Moscow   :yes:

Dhaka is probably a leg and Istanbul definitely is.

Peach, wasn't Phil quoted by the eyewitness as saying he was  "waiting for the Racers?" That would suggest to me that the early morning arrival was more likely.

Several of the Phil sightings were by Americans though.

It seems we are missing one day.  The Istanbul leg was run on Wednesday the 6th. 

What if Phil was seen when he was doing his standup for the Moscow leg (Thursday the 8th).  That would have the Teams running Moscow tomorrow Friday the 9th.

The implication of missing a day is that there may be another leg between Istanbul and Moscow.  A TBC into Bulgaria would be possible with the Teams arriving in Moscow on

June 8th           FB 363    Bulgaria Air    3:10 PM       7:00 PM
or June 9th    SSU 2061   Aeroflot           12:45 PM          4:45 PM

I want that new country!!!!   :gaah:

He wasn't seen until about 6+++ PM though...

Sorry. The point was not what was a leg and what isn't, but what RFF pre-spoiled correctly.

We also had Taipei thanks to the China contingent, and Turkey in general terms, but not Istanbul specifically or Bangladesh.

I'm just trying to figure out why the guy who posted the pic with Phil looks so familiar.

Well posibilities for June 7 are:

1) Second leg in Istanbul

2) First leg in Moscow

3) day off with extended pit stop to let Phil get a day ahead.

squad_Deep_Pond has a pretty average Twitter account. Lots of local pictures.....some are really not good to post on the internet. Lots of personal info there. Sure sounds like the teenager he supposedly is.  And if it is a plant....well he tweeted at exactly the correct times for his travel to central Moscow.

In my calendar Thursday is the 7th and Friday is the 8th - but your point still stands.
We know the teams were active in Moscow on Friday the 8th - what were they doing on the 7th?
Train from Istanbul to Sofia, then fly to Moscow?
Maybe?

It's not that I think he is a plant, he just looks familiar.  He probably just looks like someone I have seen.

Where did Bulgaria come from?
I just don't see there being six consecutive one country legs happening. It'd be hard on Phil, production and the Racers (not that the latter matters in pacing.) I think two legs in Turkey (the second outside of Istanbul) would be far more likely.
