No no no, there’s no rule that teams have to trade off Roadblocks, just that they have to share an equal amount

If one person did most of the roadblocks on the front half, they would eventually get stuck with the partner having to do all the rest

I’ve seen where teams get stuck with someone not well suited for the task having to do the roadblock because the team didn’t share roadblocks properly

I know that, but that ended leg 9 last season and leg 10 many seasons prior, so the rule is irrelavent for this leg.

It's 1:20 in the morning there (weird and unique thing about China is the whole country all shares one timezone). The sighters are probably all asleep now.

It's actually 12:20 there. Don't fret jboy224, there might be others that could snap pics other than our trusted sighters. Great job to our Hong Kong team!! Hong Kong is still alive at this time of the night.

nope, it's only 12:25 in the morning there in Hong Kong (and whole China).

I am from Macau and I really hope they visit again... by the way I am gonna sleep.

I do agree that sometimes it becomes a non-issue in the later stages of some races, but not all

Teams were still keeping things even through the penultimate leg in TAR28, or else Matt, Cole, and maybe even Korey would’ve done that monument roadblock over Dana, Sheri and Tyler and the count would’ve been 8-6 for all

Pitstop

https://www.instagram.com/p/BajhcyigGGp/?taken-by=cecillevs

There's the "1890-1930 coastline" sign, and above it is a street address of 136. When I Google the sign, it comes up as Wan Chai Road, but I don't see a matching wall at that address.

Pit Stop is the junction of Johnston Rd and Wan Chai Rd.
What a random place to put a Pit Stop!

Darn.  The leg is probably over by now so it stinks we got no teams at the pitstop sightings.

I guess the leg is over? Do we have any sightings on the pit stop while teams arriving?

Leg is over. Not sure about pitstop arrival.

No pics with teams at the pitstop yet (if anyone took them)

Chun Wui Mansion is Wrong...and I fall for it... :groan:

It is in 136 Wan Chai Road, a road in front of the new apartment "L Wanchai", it took me an hour to find this pit stop, and when I was there, the crew is packing everything...

Oh, no. The street address is visible in the photo on the right. Were you able to find out ANYTHING? Talk to anyone who was there when teams arrived?

So, does that mean that Indy Drivers were potentially eliminated, then? If Phil's talking to them with the cameras and there's no mat, would that indicate that they were last or unable to complete one of the tasks?

When I was here, I was told by another fans Phil went to eliminated the 4th team in LKF....but I doubt it as he didn't really see the whole scene

I think Indy drivers couldn't complete the puzzle in time...
