TAR 17 Speculation
Caelestor:
S. Korea would likely be one of the penultimate legs, due to its proximity to America. I agree Bangladesh is highly likely, for reasons I've stated earlier. After Bangladesh is the question, however: will the route curve north or south? Oceania may be visited solely to prevent TAR 17 from becoming another Northern Hemisphere route.

Oceania is way due since TAR13 when they visited New Zealand. We could get a leg or 2 there again followed by a leg somewhere in the South Pacific like Samoa, Fiji, or Tonga. Then go to Hawaii/Alaska and the US mainland for the Final Leg if there is a 13 leg-structure similar to TAR1/TAR2/TAR3/TAR4/TAR5/TAR11. I think the route would curve south after Bangladesh and north back to the USA.
13 Legs sounds plausible for me if there was a immediate destination like Alaska or Hawaii.
The race could finish like on the 19th or 20th of this month.

Yeah, South Korea is out of the question.

Would you like to share your evidence for this? I have posted something else in the spoiler thread which may conflict with your statement.
Not trying to single out one person, but this is a good example of something that can cause problems.
If you all think/believe/wish/want something to be true...please say I wish/believe/want/think that such and such is true. Not such and such IS true unless you have factual evidence to support your statements.
And IF you have the facts to support your definitive statements, please share them in spoilers.
It is very frustrating when people who read here and clearly do not have all the facts or are only stating their own opinions, make statements that are then reported in other forums and media as "RFF says".
For the record...unless it is in the TIMELINE thread...RFF does NOT say.
Please just be clear about whether something is your speculation or your opinion or a FACT that can be supported by a photo, a trusted source, or something like a permit.
Thanks!!

Bangladesh, if the spoilers and my calculations are both right, would be Leg 8. If Legs 10 and 11 are in the same city following the TAR 13-16 tradition, we'd only have one leg left to guess. Korea (and Australia) do seem to be in the right place for the penultimate legs, with Southeast Asia being the most likely place where the dots connect for Leg 9 in both scenarios...
Unless they do the completely unexpected and go to South America for the final legs.

Bangladesh is possibly Leg 9 since there is leg between Russia and Oman on the 6th/7th.
