This was a great leg of the race. The teams travelled from Beijing to Ulaanbaatur via bus and train. This was a pleasant change from the single day legs that plagued most of Race 9. The teams had to not only deal with buses, trains, horses and taxi drivers, but also to navigate in Soviet vintage 4x4s.

But whereas this season has stepped up the game as far as tasks and route in the first two legs, none of the teams stand out as immediate favorites or immediate villains.

As it should be on the Race, the team that had a "stupid day" was the one eliminated.
