If they took the train, shame on TPTB for bypassing Belgium.

Caelestor,
Brussels is the capitol of Belgium and it is clearly part of the train itinerary. The planes might fly around Belgium, but the shortest route for trains between Hamburg and Lille is through Belgium.

By bypass, I meant "not host a leg there." Sorry for the misunderstanding.

But seems to me if the U-Turn is in the War Zone, ALL the teams have to be able to see it...so I am thinking War Zone is NOT a Detour but a task they all have to do...

Maybe the Detour is WITHIN the war zone...we see a cluebox there, we have some teams crawling under barbed wire, some in a explosive area, and there is that sidecar with I think a machine gun housing on it as well...So my guess would be two separate Detours WITHIN the war zone. What exactly, I have no idea. :lol:

Both detour choices must be something within the war zone, otherwise the U-turn will be unfair since the box is set up in the war field. I think it's like TAR14 Leg 4 where they can access to both detour easily and the U-turn box is somewhere between both sites.

Also, it's usual for the producers to put Roadblock after Detour if there's a U-turn, because they have to give the U-turned team a chance to catch up, otherwise they must be last for sure. Same reason for Speed Bump to be at the first of the leg.

DavidJunior:
could the detour be something like "trenches or front-lines"?

we see one team (JJ i believe), walking in what looks to be a trench

and we see several other teams going through an obstacle course of sorts while under "heavy fire"

maybe the trenches are a maze thing where teams have to figure out how to make it to the end, or at least find something in there?

and then the battlefield is an obstacle course where if teams get "hit" (with paint perhaps?) they must start over?

we do hear Jordan (male) say he was "hit".  :duno:

It will be a mixture of TAR 8 the "Civil War" detour, plus the TAR 13 Russian soldier detour... with a U-turn thrown in...

Yeah, it's certainly shaping up that way! :tup:
