TAR12 timeline speculation

<< < (31/65) > >>

apskip:
I am now going to address the question from Peach on flights to Split. There are 4 daily flights on July 19 into Split from Zagreb(one more than to Dubrovnik):

OU650 0645 0730
OU654 1200 1255
OU380 1415 1500
OU656 2100 2145

Getting the first one is impossible unless a team is overnighting at Zagreb. The second one cannot be reached started from Vilnius in the morning. The third one is the one that the earliest teams on the 0600 flight VNO to PRG should be able to connect with. The fourth one would be for the laggard teams. Please note that I do not believe that any teams went to Split, so I regard this as an academic exercise. If teams did get to Split, they are only 120 miles from Dubrovnik and could get there by charter flight, bus, taxi, or U-drive car.

Don't forget that the teams took a long taxi-ride in Ireland and in BF for about 200 miles.  Driving in Italy is easy with the Autostradas so drive from Milano or Roma shouldn't be out of the question.

apskip:
GMAN, teams are required to get to a designated airport for departure. They are not allowed to deviate to gain an advantage. Remember AR10 on Zanzibar, where going back to the mainland by hydrofoil and then flying out of Dar-es-Salaam aiport would have resulted in a big advantage. It was not allowed due to the constraints imposed by the clue. Your proposal would not be either because there is an airport in Florence. Teams will be required by the clue to fly to it.

Peach, please see my added note to post #136, which reviews the thrice weekly schedule Kaunas to Frankfurt and concludes that Monday/Friday/Sunday do not come close to being helpful. Only if there were additional days this summer would it be possible to fly out from Kaunas to Frankfurt on the late evening of July 18. Even with this the first flight from FRA to ZAG does nto get in until after the first flight from ZAG to DBV has left and the earliest possible arrival through Frankfurt is 340pm into Dubrovnik or 1255pm into Split.

I don't want to jump the so called gun but if what I just posted in EP5 is correct as far as times as in -- putting the Siblings & Nic & Gramps in the back of the pack with perhaps JeNathan eliminated (we really need Chateau's shadow times) then theres no need to look for an extra day rather we are in for another 36 hour pitstop between the Lithuania & Croatia legs.
