2 legs in just about 2 days, is very hard to accomplish (though I believe they have done it before)
but if it was a TBC it would be much easier to fit the "2 legs" into the schedule
just a thought...

It would be ironic to have a NEL or TBC in Thailand because that is also Sequesterville.
Wouldn't it be cool to have the Sequesterville house be a PitStop?!

2 legs in 2 days is easy to accomplish from Phuket to Bangkok even if no TBC is involved. The length of all tasks on a leg combined only rarely exceeds about 4 hours. Flying takes 1 hour 25 minutes plus the airport time on both ends (less than 2 hours total). That leaves time for a 12 hour pit stop and about 4.5 hours left over.

Trying to figure out the timing for leg number 5. So assuming arrival in Novo Nov. 10...
If we assume they travel by train from Krasnojarsk to Novosibirsk - 12 hours - it gives the racers a very short pit stop in Krasnojarsk - about 8 hours with 12 hours to sleep on the train and provide insights into Luke's psyche. It appeared to me that leg 4 ended rather later in the day - 4pm ish.
We know Mel and Mike and Marge and Luke (marathon racer # 1) are on the same train. Note that they have sleeping berths. (screen caps on page 1) and that outside of the train its daylight . So I guess Dep. Krasnojarsk 23:36 Arr. Novosibirsk 12:38 (train sched from apskips timeline)
Another possibility is Dep. Krasnojarsk 18:26 Arr. Novosibirsk 06:47, but if that were the case they would never see daylight outside the train (Kras. November 9 sunrise 8:14 AM KRAT sunset 4:52 PM KRAT and Novo November 10 Sunrise 7:51 AM NOVT sunset 4:34 PM NOVT ) and it would give only 2 hours of pit stop.
Are all racers are on the same train? I think some of them got on the earlier train because...
Wunderground tells me that on Nov 10:
Clear and some overcast from 6am to10:30 am
Light snow started 1pm Heavy snow around 3
Temps were around -7 to -9 eeek! Too cold to run around in your underwear.
The picture of Tammy (racer # 3) and Jenn (racer # 6) is in sunlight - with a low angle from the south east (I think) so morning sometime between 7:51 to 10:30.
Christie (racer # 7) is running in snow - no sunlight - so after 1pm
This could all be entirely wrong if I have the date incorrect - but November 11 had snow all day with no clear periods - maybe its the anticipated Siberian blizzard!
