Scott's now in the middle of his final test: the grueling Appalachian Mountains. Yes, they're not as bad as the rockies overall, but they're definitely nothing to sneeze at. Particularly when you're 2700 miles into a 3014-mile race. Take a look at these elevations. The first one shows the elevations he just endured, and the next one the elevations he faces now:
Scott is currently in 7th place, but things are a little complicated because Scott has finally been given 1 hour and 40 minutes of time credit for the delays he faced in New Mexico. After factoring in Scott's credit and other rider's credits and penalties, Scott's still in 7th as of this writing, but things are close. Scott could still advance to 6th or even 5th place if things go his way.Franz Preihs has pulled away from the middle of the pack, and now rides safely in 4th. Barring some sort of catastrophe, that's where he should finish.
Also, congratulations to Jure Robic, the 2008 RAAM Solo Male Champion. Jure finished the race in 8 days, 23 hours, 33 minutes.
