I heart this year the number of 90h riders (including tandem and solo bikes) would be limited to 3000. you may read this on the french forum dedicated to pbp:

Here, in france, we don't need to know the registration number for the 600k , just the name of the organizer club should be OK
I think you have to register online on monday 11th and buy your airline ticket after, unless you are a strong rider, in this case, you will be able to choose between 80h or 84h !
so, if you're planning on registering for the 90 hour start, do not delay in submitting your application.
From the forum thread, apparently 2628 riders did the 90h start in 2003. Considering that there have been 13% and 25% increases in PBP participation over the last few instances of the event, it's certainly possible that the 3000 rider cap will be filled this year.
