Am I to understand that legs 4 and 5 in Yunnan province had no rest period between them, as was the case in Australia? Wow. That's brutal.

They flew from Narita to Kunming.....then took an overnight train to Lijiang. They did the leg in Lijiang. Then it was similiar to Broken Hill. They lounged around in the afternoon, then took another overnight train back to Kunming and ran the leg there.
The leg in Lijiang appears to be a NEL with the old "Marked for Elimination" penalty.

What I was referring to is whether that comment I quoted was correct in its implication that officially, in terms of the game aspect, that the teams were checked in and then immediately sent off with a clue for the following leg.
If they had a second moving pit stop (as was the case from Broken Hill), that would still be brutal, but not by much.

I hope they find wood tablets that contain messages from their former racers in their season. :lol:

That's a good idea, but I think it would be relatively easy to spot a tablet written in English among all those written in Chinese. It would be more difficult if the racers were given something like a picture of a tablet and have to find the same.

From what I understand, this should be a TBC/NEL version 2 just like Manly was. A "Keep on racing" leg NOT a NEL with a penalty like a speedbump or anything.
