If that's ratified, it's an astonishing effort and his was one of the bikes I looked at and thought had no chance travelling so light.
I had a major operation when this started so followed most of his progress during my 'darker days' of recovery. He appears to have chosen his route extremely well, very few mechanicals and had lady luck on his side. The guy appears to be a natural athlete....his preparation was second to none,he literally blew the field apart.
I had a few issues with some of the other riders, who whilst seemingly unsupported, were pulling a few stunts that made me question the whole thing.
