I started at 3:15 am last year and will probably do similar this year. Your jet lag should help out with an early start time. Be aware that the rest stops have limited nutrition choices so be sure to check the literature to see what they provide and then carry your own stuff to supplement.
Jet lag will certainly be my friend for an early start! I was planning on pedalling by 5 am, that gives me 15 hours to finish, I doubt I'll get time cut, but I'll freely admit that there is a chance I'll blow myself up and not finish, I generally have 3 speeds, nearly pinned, almost pinned and pinned :-P . Yea, I really need to manage that on this ride!

that is an Alex Singer "Maison" (house built) rear rack. it's the large rack available as an option when you order the Sportif model from Cycles Alex Singer.
https://www.cycles-alex-singer.fr/
and there's a Zefal tire pump mounted on the NDS seatstay, with a brazed on peg at the top.
hope that answers your questions
