No, that idiot was someone else. Hajo Eckstein's legit, and fast.

The guilty party, according to Ian P (yanto over on YACF)- himself a VM rider on PBP, 54hr- was a 70 year old Frenchman in a red & white WAW, who shouldn't even have been riding because he got caught charging his battery on qualifiers.

Broken ankle legacy stopped play. I rode over and started; got as far as Loudeac before the pain got too bad. I'm glad I went though, rather than moping at home. This is afterwards.

Another DNF here, my old shoulder injury returned a week before the start.
Nevertheless I started and made it until St. Nicolas. On the stretch from Loudéac to St. Nicolas I couldn't pull my bars anymore so I ended up walking a few hills. I decided to quit at the village party and calmly rode to St. Nicolas. Back by train to Paris.
This didn't stop me from taking photo's, you can see them on
