Considering the pattern...
TAR22: Leg 4/5 (2 countries)
TAR23: Last 3 (2 countries)
TAR24: First 6 (3 countries)*
TAR25: Last 3 (2 countries)
TAR26: First 4 (2 countries)
TAR27: Last 3 (2 countries)
TAR28: Last 3 (2 countries)
TAR29: Last 3 (2 countries)
TAR30: Last 2 (2 countries)
...having five Legs at the start of the Race in Asia, including possibly two in a brand new country that likely will never get visited on TARUS again, the route so far is perfectly fine.
And also remember the TAR's budget in 2018.
*An anomaly (the entire season is tbh lol) due to replacement legs, etc
