I was thinking the same thing, but I wonder what the options are? They did a Civil War Re-enactment Detour in Family Edition, "Heat of the Battle/Heat of the Night."
Boingo:
OK, trees and dirt not doing anything for me... so here's some trivia to hold us over till we get more clues.
No surprise, the racers are dressed in US Army uniforms. BTW, the shoulder patch indicates that they are in the US Army 1st Infantry Division. ...oh yeah, the guys in blue are the French ...meh, carry on.
Society of the First Infantry Division
Where 1st Division fought in WW1

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.
theschnauzers:
If this is a 12-hour-ish pit stop (with all the teams checking in at night, they'd be departing in daytime....and I would hope that TPTB wouldn't expect them to be driving with hangovers after all of that beer.
The previews are daylight, which suggests either a longer pitstop, or a bunching on arrival in France. If the pitstop is longer then self-driving becomes possible, although I think TPTB have greater control over arrival times if they leave by train.
The 9:00 am trains may be too early for all of the teams to make, though, with all of the tasks they had in this last leg after arriving on the train from Frankfurt; I don't think any of the teams finished by 9pm at night.

--- End quote ---
If it was indeed Steve & Allie or Joe & Heidi turned out to be Blind U-Turn Victims.... BIG MISTAKEEEEE!!!!!
U-Turn Jet & Cord!!!!! Always target the strong team!!! Keep weak teams in the race!
I guess nobody learned a lesson from my mom and me about who to target for Blind U-Turn... :lol:
But, I'm glad that a team made a bold move! There won't be a karma if a team made a strategic move unless an U-Turned team survived then.... uh-oh.
