Timetables and Flight Information
banzai:
Dallas' backpack is orange too.
apskip:
puddin is quite correct in saying that that it doesn't matter whether it was an 36 hour extended pitstop in Fortaleza or an extra 24 hours acclimatization in LaPaz does not affect what comes later. It takes us to the start of tasks in LaPaz the morning of April 28 either way. Here is my latest timeline, which as you can see assumes the 24 hour acclimatization period in LaPaz:
AR13 TIMELINE(modified Oct. 20)
Depending on when they arrive at LAX, teams have choices of 3 flight combinations to Salvador:
4/22, leg 1
LAX DFW AA2446 1250 1740 connecting in Dallas with DFW GRU AA963 1945 0750+1 connecting Sao Paulo with GRU SSA JJ3896 0830 1055 or JJ3174 1035 1250
LAX MIA AA252 1355 2142 connecting in Miami with MIA GRU 2330 0830+1 connecting Sao Paulo with GRU SSA JJ3174 1035 1250
LAX GRU UA843 1405 1005+1 with a stop in ORD from 2005 to 2132 connecting in Sao Paulo with GRU SSA JJ3154 1200 1425
There are other possiblities for the American flight from Miami to connect in Rio, but they can arrive no earlier than the later TAM Aereas Lineas flight into Salvador.
tasks in Salvador; then Hours of Operation
4/23 tasks in Salvador
4/24 We know the elevator task in Salvador is this morning. It will be followed soon after by a pitstop. For top teams that means that they can reach the Salvador airport by 11pm and possibly get G31604 SSA FOR 2310 0055+1.
4/25 leg 2, choices of flights from Salvador to Fortaleza are:
SSA FOR JJ3366 0230 0415
SSA FOR JJ3890 0330 0635
SSA FOR G31642 0645 0945
SSA FOR G31260 1100 1350
SSA FOR JJ8003 1130 1310
followed by tasks in Fortzaleza that are complete around 1pm or slightly later;
Pitstop in Fortaleza ends from about 1am to about a half hour later
4/26 leg 3
For FOR LPB there are few options and the best is taking the 5L301 JJ3325 FOR GRU 0730 1130 connecting in Sao Paulo with 5L301 GRU VVI 1600 1730, then 5L211 VVI LPB 1900 2000.
Another option to LPB is to go through LIM. We start FOR GRU with JJ3325 0730 1130. Next is GRU LIM LP780 1450 1810. finally, we have 5L1405 LIM LPB 2130 0015 or 3 hours later than the prior combination.
once teams arrive in LaPaz airport I believe they go to a 24 hour special rest break for acclimiatization to the LaPaz altitude
4/27 Acclimatization rest break
4/28
Teams do tasks in Bolivia starting around 7am and then have an extended 36 hour pitstop late morning in the LaPaz area.

Another route is AKL MEL 1300 1500 NZ2725 or 1615 1815 QF134
One late team is probably on AKL SIN 2355 0645 SQ282 connecting there with SIN BKK SQ970 0845 1010 then BKK REP PG905 1100 1220
5/4 continued

georgiapeach:
Apskip, don't forget that CBS/WRP has issued the OFFICIAL MAP of the Pitstop/Legs for the race.
They show ONE for Siem Reap
TWO for Delhi (New and Old)
ONE for Kazakhstan
TWO for Moscow
All of which fits perfectly for our remaining legs.
I would certainly have reversed that and focused the double legs on our new places of Siem Reap and Kazakhstan, but apparently they didn't agree. (:;)
And I have read/listened to multiple interviews and am convinced IMO, that Fortaleza had an extended Pitstop (teams definitely seen at a group dinner) and La Paz did not (audio interview of Mark and Bill talking about sleeping outside and beginning the task in the AM). IMO, there was no "acclimatization" extension. We will definitely need to ask the racers about this!
Chateau d If:
--- Quote ---and La Paz did not
--- End quote ---
But the Pit Stop in La Paz was 36 hours before starting the leg to New Zealand. Right?
georgiapeach:
I meant to say that La Paz did not have some "in-race" acclimitization. I am still puzzled about what happened between La Paz and Santiago and imagine I will stay that way until the racers can fill us in. :lol: April 29 went somewhere!
