The were 11 time gaps between the teams, which were less than
an hour, the smallest of which was only three minutes between four
sets of teams. The biggest gap was over 43 hours between the
Austrian Handcycle team and the two person mixed Team RAD.
The gap between the winning Team Beaver Creek - Vail and the
last place Team RAD was over 6 days. This was more than twice
the time range between the first and last solo finishers.
Solo winner Wyss' time was faster than the last two teams.
The top two teams were more than twice as fast as the slowest
solo rider.

Enduro riders had 37 control points (time stations) where they could
officially log time off their bikes. I did much math calculating
their new average speeds based upon their off bike times at the
previous time station. If an Enduro rider won a time station after
stopping at the previous station, I have made note of this in the far
right column of my spreadsheet. Obviously Enduro riders should have
faster on-the-bike speeds than Traditional riders, and this is seen in
that Enduro riders won the majority (42 out of 57) of the time stations.

17 men (including 3 DNFs) won time stations. Only 3 (Kaldy,
Armstrong, & Boethling) out of the 17 finishers failed to
win a stage. The first two riders to reach Atlantic City
(Wyss & Valsesia) only won one time station each, but Wyss
had the most race leads - 18 including the last 16. I was
surprized that rookie and the last rider to drop out (with
just 357 miles to go) Mitch Lesack won 4 time stations. Two
of these were after stops (7:30 & 2:47) proving that time off
the bike increases on-the-bike speed.

Race leads is RAAMs version of the Tour de France's yellow jersey. With
57 time stations, a RAAM rider has more opportunities to be leading
through a time station than a Tour rider has to win a stage.
Based upon time station data alone, the RAAM lead changed 15 times, but
the number is probably much higher since lead changes often occur between
time stations especially the first few days before things get really
spread out. At TS #16 in Pagosa Springs, CO, Knaus took the lead after
Robic dropped out, but it never showed up because Baloh passed Knaus for
the lead before the next time station in South Fork, CO. The lead changed
8 times in 8 time stations from #18-25. The first and third riders (Wyss &
Biasiolo) only won 3 time stations, yet they had the majority (35 out of 57)
of race leads.
