prey for them.....
are we sure that detour comes before roadblock?
who can recall all the previous seasons' U-turn legs?
Is it normally detour first or roadblock first in U-turn legs?
I did a bit search. Normally detour first. then u-turn teams have roadblock to catch up.

Ever since the U-Turn was created in Season 12, on the legs that contain a U-Turn, the Detour has always been before the Roadblock, so this leg would break the pattern. I will sum up all the U-Turns for you, if this helps:
Season 12, Leg 4 - "Shake Your Pan, Shake Your Booty" Detour (Shana & Jennifer U-Turn Lorena & Jason) then the bicycle Roadblock
Season 12, Leg 8 - "Paste 'Em, Thread 'Em" Detour (Kynt & Vyxsin mistakenly U-Turn Nicolas & Donald) then the gas delivery Roadblock
Season 13, Leg 3 - "Musical March, Bumpy Ride" Detour (Unused U-Turn) then the fighting cholitas Roadblock
Season 13, Leg 9 - "Boots, Borscht" Detour (Unaired U-Turn, if I am not mistaken) then the bakery Roadblock
Season 14, Leg 4 - "Stack, Construct" Detour (Margie & Luke U-Turn Amanda & Kris) then the Chekhov Roadblock
Season 14, Leg 11 - "Beijing Opera, Chinese Waiter" Detour (Tammy & Victor U-Turn Kisha & Jen) then the eating Roadblock
Season 15 did not air any U-Turns, but if I am not mistaken, I think there was one on Leg 3, which had the Detour first also
Season 16, Leg 5 - "In The Trenches, Under Fire" Detour (Louie & Michael U-Turn Joe & Heidi) and this leg did not have a Roadblock
Season 16, Leg 9 - "Pounding The Drums, Pounding The Pavement" Detour (Brent & Caite U-Turn Carol & Brandy) then the chain counting Roadblock
Season 17, Leg 9 - "Balanced Meal, Balanced Bricks" Detour (Double U-Turn; Jill & Thomas -> Brook & Claire, Nat & Kat -> Chad & Stephanie) then the rickshaw assembling Roadblock
Season 18, Leg 5 - "Honor Past, Embrace Future" Detour (Double U-Turn; Kent & Vyxsin -> Jaime & Cara -> Flight Time & Big Easy) then the dinosaur Roadblock
Hope I haven't been off-topic B:) , but I hope this helps ! :tup:

Amen, Peach!!! Decoy activities are pretty specific..........riding a train across Switzerland is not one of them.

I know! I have had a hard time staying :-X !! You can only say I don't think they were decoys so many times. :lol:

But what a great decoy idea! Instead of sending the philiminated to a resort, put them on trains with a camera and sound guy. Let them get off the train in obscure places and run around doing wacky stuff.
Probably cheaper than Elimination Station and more fun.

There was a U-turn used by Lance & Keri I think
georgiapeach:
Thanks racer! Great summary. I thought of Joe and Heidi when I saw the W U turn making an appearance. If you are going to have a tool that puts one team in charge of another team's destiny, at least plan it so they have a chance to catch up. grrr.

Not soldiers, not chimney sweepers... but BELLBOYS. :lol:
It looks like, to me:
Pit Start at Salzburg, before 6.00am
Train from Salzburg to Feldkirch, around 6.30am
Taxi from Feldkirch to Liechtenstein, around 10.00am
Roadblock at Liechtenstein: Moped measurement, around 10.30am
Taxi (or, a smaller possibility, bus) from Liechtenstein to Sargans, around 11.30am
Train from Sargans to Zermatt, around 12.00pm
Detour at Zermatt: Luggage or Fondue (Cheesy Costumes or Cheesy Cuisine - just a joking guess), around 6.00pm
Pit Stop at Zermatt, around 7.30pm

Upstream, on page 2 of this thread (and copied here), Neobie outlined this leg of the race. There is a nice map too.
