What I found the most interesting was the statement:

"It takes an athlete out on the road (a) minimum 15 to 30 minutes to repair a flat, so you can see the dilemma if you have three or four flat tires along the way," said Prowse

I am not a repair wizz by any means but it doesn't take me anywhere close to that.

the first one would be quick - as we all carry a spare - the second a little slower (assuming a second spare - that not all of us carry) the third and fourth would be a nightmare - waiting for tech assistance (who is extremly challenged due to the chrisis) could take upwards of 30 mins - friend of mine who usually rides 6hrs rode 7:10 with 4 flats...not sure I would have had the mental strenght to do that...
