I'd consider an iirregular length pit stop that gives Phil time to take a flight ahead of the teams, and see how much of a airport departure spread that would give the teams.

If pressed. I would say that that photo looks like a little shaded lighted lamp on the bar, not daylight....

Looks like somewhat of a 12h Pit Stop in Puerto Varas? Jody/Shannon arrived the day before at 3.50pm, and we have Mike/Louie, who arrived not too far ahead of them, checking out at 3.12am. The cowboys started the previous leg in Petrohue at 7.30am and left Puerto Varas at 11.20pm, which fits closely with a 12h Pit Stop. Phil didn't give us the am/pm spiel though...
I'm going to back-pedal on Jet/Cord having an immense lead, if teams fly into Frankfurt to take a train to Hamburg. The first flight into Buenos Aires AEP arrives at 1.13pm and the last arrives at 10.23pm. The best options at any point in time from Buenos Aires EZE to Frankfurt are:
1520-1035 via Sao Paulo
1700-1325 via Madrid
1900-1400 via Sao Paulo
2150-1500 direct
2200-1755 via Madrid
2240-1920 via Madrid
2245-2010 via Rome
The only flight that arrives before sunset (after a train ride to Hamburg) is the first Sao Paulo flight, so if Jet/Cord do appear in the tavern before sunset, that's probably the one they're on. They'd still have at least a three hour lead entering Hamburg, though.
I believe Phil leaves Bariloche the morning of the 3rd, arriving on the afternoon of the 4th:
BRC-AEP (1110-1313), EZE-GRU (1520-1900), GRU-FRA (2005-1035), FRA-HAM (1220-1320)
And that teams leave Bariloche on the 4th after a ~40h Pit Stop (wow!), with Jet/Cord barely making the 11.10am flight, and all teams arriving in Hamburg late afternoon of the 5th after changing to the ICE train in Frankfurt.
theschnauzers:
A 40 hour pit stop, much less a 36 hour pit stop is relative rare these days, but were quite common in the past. I have a feeling things got improvised a little bit if the detective work is correct that Phil narrowly missed an opportunity to fly out that night when leg 3 was completed.

Woden (or whoever else knows the answer): How do we know this? ???
