But that's what Daan has already done, he's within a tracker update error of the lead. He's basically forced the hand of Bas, bas can't stop now.

Yes, but we don't know how long Daan stopped last night (4hrs was just an example). When I got up at 6:30 this morning, Bas and Daan were already moving. If Daan needs longer sleeping stops each night, my money's on Bas.

I spent 3 hours awake watching the dot wondering when it would move again. So it was at least 3 hours!

If both Daan and Bas sleep before the finish, then Daan has a go. But if Daan has to sleep again, Bas wins. I think.

Sunday at 1800. They basically have 202 hours to finish in. It requires they do over 210km per day. So as long as he gets to the 420 mark he's still within a chance of finishing, but it leaves very very little margin of error.

Just looking at fully loaded bike weights.

Bas is fully loaded at 12-13kg plus another 5kg for food / water. He says 17kg total.  Our number 61 has a trike weighing 31kg, and he’s added another 5kg of stuff. So similar additions in terms of weight , but different starting points. Bas aiming to consume 100 g of carbs per hour.

Most fully loaded weights coming out around 20kg.

The question was asked on a Facebook post by one of the riders.  A fair few posts to get an idea of  typical weights.

Unfortunately 72s dot is a dud tracker. They aren't there. Aukje (63 from last year) went to check on them. 61 still lantern rouge.

Well never mind. I’m sure he just wants to complete it, and is not too bothered about placing. His entry on dot watcher does imply he intends to enjoy the full time limit available to him.

What happened overnight? Daan and Paul Bernd are suddenly clear of the rest of the field by quite some margin. Did Bas go for a long night of sleep?

Basically they all teased me. I thought that they'd ride through the night and I could catch them at Ijmuiden and interview them I waited until Dawn was past Den Helder then left for the ferry... He then stopped for a sleep. Meanwhile Bas also slept for about 6 hours.

I'm now at Ijmuiden trying to interview riders. I missed 31/121 by maybe 5 minutes? I then got 142 and 5. But Bas got the ferry south as I was heading back north. I did get a photo at least.

My guess is that's all the sleep Bas plans on getting.

Next victim, Bart.

Daan had taken the lead before midnight but it was only a couple of km. Paul had been gaining most of the evening.

Our rider 61 trike recumbent is at 485km after about 50 hours. By my calculations that’s pointing at approx 195 hours for completion and he’s going to slow as time goes on. Going to be a close one,

Nice tailwind along the dams and flood barriers for Daan, while Bas is still moving from traffic light to traffic light in Rotterdam. The gap should close a bit later in the afternoon

From FB:

Daan Marsmans wins the 3rd edition of the Race around the Netherlands. It took him just 3 days, 9 hours and 34 minutes for the 1907 kilometers route.

Welcomed by his friends and family enjoying a beer and sharing some stories from the ride.

Some insides  will be shared via dotwatcher later.

Congrats  Daan!
