NOTE: When riders are between timestations, we have no idea where they are. At any given time, we don't know if they are moving at all. Rider rest breaks, changes in rider condition, change in the course topography (mountains), and weather all influence the time it takes a rider to travel between two timestations.
The chart below shows two different time predictions, one based on the overall average speed of the rider, and the other based on the rider's average speed between the last two timestations.
