• So, an early start for Damjan who is already underway. With just around 200 km to go, he should finish comfortably today. Zach has about half that distance to cover but is currently resting. By the end of today, the 23rd day of the race, only the 250s will still be on the road. They are just past Lyon and sleeping having stopped just before midnight local time. Trackleaders estimates around 750 km more for them. This could see them finish on Wednesday.

    I am not sure how old they are and it would be ungallant to guess. Suffice to say, I suspect that they are significantly older than Oliver and that, accordingly, their endeavour removes any excuse he might have for not competing next year.

  • You can be forgiven for the thought, because you don't know us, but Matt is fully guilty of knowing the horror he's proposing to invoke, and needs to go on the naughty step.

    I’ve ridden with Oliver. I know how it would end up. One of us would be buried somewhere beside some far off road, probably on the second day.

    I was just going to say, I'm sure we'd get on like a house on fire. :)
