BJ crossed the checkpoint 30th or sooner. Started 65th so he has passed AT LEAST 35 cars! SWEET.

Put a ditch or a wall on the track RG's on & it's always a toss up.
Put him in the wide open spaces & he flies...

528 listed as a 45th position start at 15h39m
40 trucks have past Km38 with the Tzar leading it in just under 32 min.
By my guesstimate, he's about 45 minutes out & should be there soon.

Of course, the way the tracking has been going, he could have already won the stage...
