Transcontiental Race 2015 anyone following this?

In its third iteration the race is about 6 days through. It looks absolutely brutal just following it on spot tracker but what an amazing tour and really inspirational.

The two time previous winner (Kristof Allegaert) is not riding the Transcontinental this year because he's riding the Moscow-Vladivostok stage race, following the route of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Total length 9195 km with 15 stages of up to 1382 km. Supported, with following cars. Web page here with live tracker, pictures, latest news etc.
They are currently about 40% of the way through the 1380 km stage 12.
Stage 4 (945km) 28 kph / 33 hours 45 minutes time limit on it. It's not clear whether this applies to all stages.
