But that isn't a problem (If they do it that way, though again, I don't think they will). Most final legs, have more built in equalizers then any other leg. So the speed bump isn't necessarily a problem..
Take for example (like you have mentioned) that perhaps the race doesn't end in Alaska but just has tasks there (like for example season 9).
In that leg they started in Japan, first flew to Anchorage and then drove to the "the Detour Choice of One" (has that ever happened before, by the way) then teams went for another route marker, then back to Anchorage to await flights to Colorado. Then went to Colorado, found route marker, then performed Roadblock from hell and then Mat (and me crying, crying, crying.)
The producers could have placed the speed bump anywhere in Alaska and it probably wouldn't have effected the effected team from making the flight to Colorado, and giving all teams an equal (stupid producers) at winning the million.
Now suppose Alaska is the final destination, they could simply have the speed bump before the flight to Alaska, and again would give an equal shot for all teams to get to the finish line.

And season 1. And season 2. Just because we don't have info on the final city doesn't mean that the race will end in Alaska. I'm very confident that it won't end in Alaska, actually. It's just part of the final leg. They have an Alaska or Hawaii leg almost every single season, and it has never been the site of the final city. Why would this season be different?
michael:
exactly IA with KingCrimson88 -- I don't think there's ever been a finale where they haven't flown to one location and then made their way to the final destination city.
apskip:
Just watch episode 11!

Yup we'll see who's right :), I call somewhere other than Alaska. Maybe Ca.? thats my guess.
