TAR 18 Ep 9 "We're Good American People" (Switzerland)
georgiapeach:
Neobie is correct, of course!!
The RB is the Liechtenstein portion (moped task), so the Speedbump will be there too>>followed by train to Zermatt>>Detours (thanks Neobie!!) >>Pitstop (location to be determined).
Glacier tasks are for next week.
This looks like a very sad leg to be U-turned on.... not much time to play catch up. :'(

I think the Speed Bump would really not be that difficult like Roadblock or Detours, I mean think about those speed bumps last seasons like sitting on ice, washing tanks, staying in sauna etc. Those speed bumps are not like solving puzzles, they're just tasks that can be finish in an average or fixed time.
But i'm really worried about G/M's position,,, I'm rooting for them... :'(
I also speculate the Trotters u-turning K/V since the goths were the cause of them being U-turn by cheerleaders in China... It would also be interesting if they U-turn them right in front of their faces! :ascared

It makes more sense to send both team mates from one side of Liechtenstein to the other and then continue racing, rather than making one team member go two-ways and then have them go again.

It is possible that the other teammate rides along in the camera van or is transported to the end of the RB by other means. Then both teammates would be close (~2-3 miles) to the railroad station in Sargans. TPTB could also tell the teams to run/walk to the train station.
I have always assumed that the moped RB would end at one of those two bridges across the Rhine, SW of Balzers, for the HD cameras. If on the other hand if TPTB were in stealth mode, there is an isolated land crossing back into Switzerland SE of Balzers. This would take teams to the town of Bad Ragaz, which just happens to be a stop on that Chur-Zurich train that Kisha/Jen were seen on.

Seems like in the past, the Speedbump has essentially been a 20-40 minute time penalty (depending on the given leg) that's essentially a fixed duration rather than something that a Racer has much control over how long it will take, and serve as a bonus chance to show local scenery or culture without being a huge expense to Production.

Well, if that's the case, then other teams may get bunched up for Gary/Mallory to finish the speedbump and catch the same train to Zermatt. That would make sense for the W-turn since it will be everyone's game again in Zermatt and no unfair advantage to Gary/Mallory. It will depend on who finish the detour first and then find the W-turn mat.
I also think that Zev/Justin may get U-turned for the fact that they do a food task after all the Vienna experience.
