Well we know cowboys can catch up if they are 1 hour behind in the beginning of the leg, (( Passed 2 legs )) but almost 75% through the leg, meh, I am not sure if they can catch up to beat someone..
That is why the roadblock is very crucial... If indeed they were U-turned, then they have to be in the middle who finishes the moped task... and gain at least 30-45 minutes from that task ahead of at least 1 team so that it will be just consumed on the detour tasks... The only thing we need to hope is that Gary was able to help in the calculations of Jet, then others redone the task or lost for quite sometime... I do hope they got U-turned than the ones who could have lost the luggage receipt... Losing the receipt is good as getting U-turned... you need to put some effort in finding it first then to realize they have to switch task then have a hard time eating....
bystander.........
I really dont mean to rain on your speculations or calculations. From the Transportation Thread, we know that the racers "probably" arrived in Feldkick at approx 0946. We know that Kisha/Jen caught a 1239 train in Sargans to Zurick. So give them 14 minutes to get from Feldkirk Station to Schaanwald and start the moped RB. It is only 3 miles from the station to Schaanwald. Then give Kisha/Jen 39 minutes to get from Balzers Castle by bus to Sargans station to catch that train.
It probably means that it took Jen about 2 hours to do that RB. We are talking about measuring a course ~13-14 miles long, with a speed limit of 30mph. How many times does it appear that Jen traveled that course.....in all directions? It appears to me that Jen had to do 3 trips. 1st one down and wrong answer. 2nd one back to the north border. 3rd one down south. Since she knows where to go this time, she gets a right answer and then is off to the trains. Since she appears to be working with Justin, one could assume he got an incorrect answer too. As Jen said.......she thinks
All the teams will be doing it over. I think placing teams in any kind of order, will be very misleading from the info we have at this time.
As far as the W-Turn, I am with the_schnauzers. I just dont see any team using it. The only one that I would think would do that, K/V, have already used theirs. Teams are not stupid. They will all realize they are just one clue away from the Pit Stop. I think they will all decline U-Turning any other team and haul buns to the Pit Stop.
