Or the path to the pitstop which I think is the Segesta temple. It is on Banzai's google pic and you can see the path you have to walk from the parking area. Banzai, can you tell how far it is from the theater to the temple? I guestimated just under a mile.

Roadblock: Segesta amphitheater
Pitstop: Segesta temple
Is it possible to walk from theater to temple? I see...so E/J could be really ahead on their way to the pitstop and not to roadblock? ???
We see Lake driving in the preview, do you think he's driving to the roadblock?

Let's see if I have my dates up to date:
Saturday, Nov. 12 Moscow arrive and continue on to Frankfurt/Stuttgart/Munich. Only Beach Boys, LakeMichelle, Hippies make it out of Moscow tonight.
Sunday, Nov. 13 Other teams leave Moscow. Stuttgart, Bad Tolz, Bavaria Film, Munich Siegestor. Third Team eliminated. Overnight Pit stop. First teams arrives at Pit Stop around 3:30PM
Monday, Nov. 14 3:30AM first teams leave Pit Stop for Munich Airport. Fly to Palermo, Italy via Rome. Detour: Wring it or Ring it; Roadblock: Putting Humpty Dumpty Back Together Again!
Flight schedules out of Munich via Rome or Milan arrive in Palermo, Sicily,Italy:
LH 3896 LV 7:05AM Via Milano AR Palermo 11:20AM
LH 2830 LV 9:25AM Via Rome AR Palermo 2:00PM
LH 3856 LV 9:25AM Via Rome AR Palermo at 1:25PM or 2:00PM
No problem for the Beach Boys to make the 7:05AM Lufthansa flight to Palermo arriving at 11:20AM
The last arriving teams which arrived at the Siegestor after darkness (4:46PM) so lets say around 6:00PM since the first three teams seemed to maintain a 2 to 3 hour lead on the others. These teams may not make the first flight and would again fall way behind. But we do see Lake and Michelle together at the Detour with the Double Dees, so we can assume perhaps that all the teams made it onto the early Lufthansa flight. A typical TPTB TAR Bunch Point.
Some speculation on whether we would have a Fast Forward and/oir a NEL on this leg. In three of the last four TARs (5, 7, and 8) we had our first FAST FORWARD and our first NEL on Leg 5. Now we have a problem. In past TARS 6 and 7 we had a leg which continued until the next episode and was counted as ONE leg stretching over two episodes.
So although this is EPISODE FIVE it is only LEG FOUR. So unless history is being changed, the first day in Sicily will be an ELIMINATION LEG without a FAST FORWARD. There is a real good chance that the following week (EP6 will be our first FF and first NEL.)
However, just to confuse matters. I am still not positive that our first day in Moscow was not intended to be the end of Leg 3. It just doesn't seem logical to stop in Moscow without a pit stop but continue on to Frankfurt, etc. There may have been a last minute change in the schedule but with productions being planned monhs in advance, the first day in Italy may have actually been planned as Leg 5 and therefore most likely would have a Fast Forward and a NEL planned. With the change in Moscow with the treams continuing on to Germany as a continuation of Leg 3, it may have been too late to change production plans in Italy. So although it is technically only Leg 4, we may in fact have our first FF and our first NEL
If indeed we do find evidence of a Fast Forward (unannounced) it may very well be Fran and Barry since we have not seen them so far in any of the Detour or Roadblock tasks. And , once again, David and Lori may this time be saved by the NEL.
So we have some work for us to sleuth on for the next several days.
Good hunting. But let's keep our options open.

Behind Lori there's something. It's either an extra statue or Lori messed up that one and they threw away. It could be part of the ruin too. Later on we see the orange guy and the woman look at it.

It's a winding road and the temple has a parking lot so they would drive. Mind you, the pitstop has not been determined - it's just my best guess. If you're talking about this pic of Lake then yes. The countryside is in the background and not the city. It looks like teams stay in Palermo for the detours and don't get their own car until it's time to leave the city for the roadblock (MoJo are in a cab in the city).
Here is a Palermo side street for comparisons for the laundry detour.
