Another 2 RBs 1 Detour leg?

[Straightfromtranslation]

Wow, this season is on track to be the best in YEARS!

Another 2 RBs 1 Detour leg?

What’s the second rb?

[angelbaby09]

           RBs plane and zipline
            RI ice ski
            express pass task
           Detour haystack/painting blocks

I think both team members zip line so it’s not a RB. It’s a means to get to the ski task.

Train to Slovenia
RB plane
RI zip line
Active RI ski
Express Pass task
Detour haystack/painting
Pit Stop

Not as full as India 2 and Germany but still more full than standard TAR

Tbf there can always be something else (something small of course) included that isn’t shown in the press pics. Like the making a wish in Vietnam this season

[rtvguy5750]

also could the beards potentially be last to leave the RB? it looks like from the sneak peaks they get there first but the press photos show Joel lying on his own in one + another with Morgan celebrating? It did seem like Garrett got the numbers right from the preview though...

[Neobie]

Teams start their drives at the carpark beneath Kongresni trg (which they'll visit again the next leg).

Is the Pit Stop back in Ljubljana, along the Ljubljanica River?

[Neobie]

The hay task is between Rateče and Podkoren here.

The bee task is just behind Bee-Toni in Rateče nearby.

The photo of Joel/Garrett running is at Lesce Airport.

I thought the zipline was the Express Pass task? With teams running up the ski jump (the preview with Greg/John and Rob/Corey) and the first one ziplining down and claiming the EP.

So so so happy to see EP take the place of FF where it is task based and not given out as an award for checking in first.

Still miss FF but this is the closest to it in the last few seasons.

You can see another team about to zipline in the press pics

[Neobie]

Looks like Todd/Ashlie are in Vienna. A bit of a detour between Salzburg and Ljubljana, but I don't know the specifics of when they were travelling.

Plus a few maps of what we know for now!

[Straightfromtranslation]

What is the bees task?

[Neobie]

It looks like one side of the Detour is to paint apiary boxes, as a representation of the role of beekeeping in Slovenia. This task, in particular, takes place at Bee-Toni in Rateče.

Looks like Joel/Garrett's confessional was filmed on the hilltop lookout just south of Ljubljana Castle, which supports the theory that the Pit Stop was back in the capital.

[Straightfromtranslation]

Oh wow I hope the racers get stung by bees that would be so funny
