I recomend that you take another look at your TIMELINE timing for Dubai second leg until the arrival in Groningen.
The first Dubai leg appeared to end in the 10am (leading teams) to 11am (lagging teams except for Lance/Keri later) time frame. That means release from the second Dubai pit stop will be at 10pm to 11pm. This gives teams time to get to Dubai International Airport.
--- End quote ---
If I may ask, how did you arrive at the 10am to 11am time range? Do these times include Meghan/Cheyne checking in as well or does that time start with Brian & Erika?
It just seems to me that it would take longer than an hour for the other teams to complete the RB and Detour and they would be further behind Meg/Cheyne than an hour.
Thanks!
apskip:
littlewop, you correctly remind me that I overlooked the FAST FORWARD results for Cheyne/Meghan. However, it is no matter, as they would also obviously qualify for the Lufthansa early morning flight 631 Dubai to Frankfurt.
To answer your question more specifically, those times are for all the racers except Lance and Keri (I did identify them as a bit later) and Cheyne/Meghan. That means there are these 6 teams the analysis was intended to cover (although it also fits Cheyne and Meghan maybe one to two hour ahead of the others): Brian/Ericka, Nate/Herb, Gary/Matt, Sam/Dan, Maria/Tiffany, Mika/Canaan.
If teams arrive around 8am into Bremen airport, it is 52 miles to Groningen. Since getting the camera/sound equipment out of luggage and into readiness and getting those marked cars takes at least 30 minutes, team leave Bremen airport sometime after about 830am. That length of drive on the very good flat roads in that area leads to a travel time of maybe 75 minutes. So they arrive before 10am as I stated if my assumptions are correct, not between 10am and 11am as if there were delays.
DavidJunior:
wait a minute... ???
i thought those results were for leg 5
and the Netherlands is leg 7
we still have another leg in Dubai...
apskip:
david Junior, you are correct and I left out leg 6. When adjusted for that, the scenario is:
1000 to 1100 - Brian/Ericka, Sam/Dan, Herb/Nate, Maria/Tiffany and Mika/Canaan finish leg 5; Cheyne/Meghan are 1 to 2 hours ahead.
2200 to 2300 - the above groups are released for leg 6
0700 - probable start time for daylight tasks in leg 6
0800 - earliest time for pit stop for the group of 6
2000 - earliest time for release from pit stop for leg 7
Flights to Europe include KL428 DXB AMS 0005 0525 (actual arrival 0454 on July 30). All teams should have little trouble getting on this if seats were available.
I will go back and correct my earlier note when I get the opportunity.
