Teams must collect letter codes to exchange for air mile tokens and visas to visit cities, with each city awarding a different amount of bonus time. The challenge requires strategic planning to allocate tasks, deal with unexpected issues like punctures, and decide whether to push on or adjust strategies to make bonus time targets.

5. Have you selected the best 4 people selected based on core skills, fatigue, etc? Can you build your strategy around these? Is your navigation or ground speed effecting timings? ...how effective was your Strategy? Have you discussed and allocated tasks within the team? Before the Start of the Stage Does the entire team understand the stage? The Start – Key info collected (maps & Journey sheet)‏ Have you confirmed your Plan B? Have you decided your Team Goals? Splitting into pairs Is fatigue or morale affecting Strategy? If not, can you re-strategise to adjust for any accidents / errors / etc With the complete team back together - Is the strategy working? At the Brussels City Point – complete team back together The remaining Stage Time Are you working with your partner to deal with any problems Shall we push onto Madrid first before considering another City? Will you try for Stockholm Bonus and risk time penalties for coming in late? Can you hit those final timings by pushing harder? Does the whole team understand their targets? Remember there will be more than one right solution The puncture was not accounted for….this will affect strategy
