Extreme Randonneuring going on.

I played around with some buttons on the tracker, and the one that says Photo is actually videos. So no Instagerm account required. So there's more than Dot Watching to be had there.
He needs to do 300k a day to make this work now. Problems with the Chinese border have been a big issue for him. A long detour through the Himalayas due to that. He will have ridden an extra 3,000k due to various detours to make the same trip from Portugal to Vladivostok. At Altai Mongolia he was about even with the previous record holder, but now he's out in front again.

I found another Easter Egg in the Solfiane tracker. If you click on the "Windy" widget you get some weather map stuff. wnd direction arrows. I guess the colors indicates temperature or something. But if you zoom all the way in you get satellite images of the road he's on including cars, buses etc.
Just stay centered on Solfiane's dot and you can see right where he is.
 
The solfiane tracker is a PITA. The last couple days it goes many hours between updates. The current record holders green dot keeps moving based on his average speed. It catches and passes Solfiane until there is an update putting him back in the lead. Not very useful with just a few more days "racing".
