30 starters from Spain (7), France (1), USA (3), Brazil (3), Russia (1) and Japan (1), UK - via Colorado (1) Keiran Johnson, rondevandoodsmak OTP, and the rest from Portugal.
By the km832 control at Beira, my station, they were well spread out with the first in, Pedro Alves in at 12.10 Saturday. Toshi and Keiran next, soon after. The last, Julia Lemos came in on her own at 18:52. . I was a bit concerned about her condition and she said she felt dehydrated. But she rallied and set off again on her own, as she had been all day. By our control there were 5 DNFs and we'd lost Aleksei Bulychev to a mechanical but were pleased to hear he'd made his own way to the overnight sleep control at Évora. Brent and Beth Meyers with their tandem had packed at the first overnight after suffering some breathing problems. Manuel Asencio packed on the final day and arrived at the finish in a taxi.
At the time of writing (17:31 UK/Portugal time) finishers already in are the two remaining Catalans, Francisco and Marc who'd left the night stop at 22:50 last night and got to Lisbon Expo Parque at 13:20, followed by Pedro A at 13:50. Keiran and Toshi arrived together at five, with the Meyers and Rui (Transcontinental '17) among others to greet them. Mark Thomas in at 18:20.
The rest are out on the road somewhere with until 12:30 tonight to finish.
**Update at 20:27. All but four now in. Still plenty of time.
