TAR 17 Speculation
woden:
It'll be interesting to see where teams go from Ghana. No likely options for ground travel out of the country and a pretty limited flight schedule today and tomorrow (especially once you take out destinations with Dept of State travel warnings and England, although I suppose they could connect through LHR again):

Hard to believe they'd be done in Africa already after Ghana with so much Race left. If they do leave Africa, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and Dubai jump out as possible connection points.
georgiapeach:
We had lots of chatter about Jo-burg for this season. A LOT . But we discounted most of it thinking that TAR wouldn't want to be there during the World Cup. The US Team arrived there Sunday
I feel sure we'll see at least 2 African legs...perhaps two even in Ghana? That's what they did in Burkina Fasa.
Caelestor:
I expect 3 African legs this race. Two in Ghana seems feasible, given its big culture and relatively large country size.
I think Lome or Librevile are the likely next destinations, especially the former, which is a 3 hour ride from Accra.
walkingpneumonia:
Virgin Atlantic just started flying from LHR to ACC on May 24th - Sir Richard Branson and other celebrities were there to celebrate the new route.
I sense a "promotional considerations" opportunity and wouldn't be surprised to see other Virgin flights.
woden:
My guess is that they've completed two legs in Ghana already and that we'll see at least one more African leg. I find it hard to believe WRP would want to risk Joburg right now too, but it would give them much better options to connect to their next continent than Togo, Gambia, Sierra Leone, etc, would. Cairo would be another possibility with lots of connections. And they HAVE leapfrogged from Europe to Africa back to Europe before as well, so who knows.
WP has a point -- we have had two known Virgin flights already, including one on the first leg which is unprecedented.
