500 kilometers apart
The remaining athletes are now spread out along the course line, with Benoît Outters (FRA2) closest to goal. He is approaching Turnpoint 11 Kronplatz, with just over 100km left to go. At the back with 590km to go, Kaoru Ogisawa (JPN1) is at Martigny in Switzerland, heading for TP8 Dent d’Oche. That is almost a 500km spread in terms of distance along the course line, from the front to the back.
