Ultan Coyle appears to have stopped at a hair dressers in Chalon-sur-Saône.

Quick trim?

There's probably a bar on the corner. Skinny complaining about stomach trouble.

Just ripped a steack of a passing cow.
First woman: Juliana Buhring.
Emily leading the peloton.

The setup of number 152, would be an amazing performance if he makes it!

That would surely rank as the most impressive thing ever done on a langster.

Haha yeah no doubt about that.

Maybe he'd get free langsters for life

Felt sick. Just been for a massive 💩. Feel right again!! Trying to eat 600cal/h hard.

Something I drank has given me horrific tummy cramps and intergestion. Not been able to eat since 11am. Tired now. Been pharmacy! Sucks.

Tummy settled. Eaten dinner. Good conditions. Time to get back up the road.

Yeah, tummy problems on @skinny 's twitter, although hopefully he's managed to get on top of it.

Skinny now blasting at good speed as we speak nearing Macon.

Ultan's bike and luggage is pretty mad but I've lost the link to the pics

Nope. My missus riding to work is more hardcore by a factor of 37.

Find it before I release the hounds..

@skinny, Josh, Ult and Ishmael (another 24hr racer) all seem to be doing well at the moment. Guess who's sitting at his desk now wishing he was riding across Europe instead of sooking about TT PBs...

Anyone know anything about Bernd Paul?

He built his own house, a target for your next season ;-)

@skinny appears to be in the lead, 130km from Ventoux, with Bernd Paul just metres behind.
1 day riding, 2hrs sleeping/ stopped. Thats nuts.

Keep up the amazing work!

On top of a mountain? This at 07:00 Sunday 26/7.

Very strange, his speed has spiked to 80kph - bike nicked by French Hillbillys? Hope all OK.

I'm guessing just a tracker signal path glitch off the hills, causing a false position plot.

Edit: Now all ok again

Samuel becuwe ( wichlor) is killing it! He's my french mate ...

I'm so impressed by number 2 and 75

Bloody hell @skinny's flying.

Incidentally, the XC70 tag must be a car right?

Impressive climbing by @skinny

Yeah and so do the V60

yep, and the V60

Race report says:
Bernd Paul, the race across Germany winner and record holder, who is already pushing at the front of the race and has ridden constantly through night 1 and clocked up 612km in the first 24hrs.

And skinny is yet further down the road? Presumably he will need some sleep before crossing the Alps? Can imagine descending whilst super tired is rather dangerous.
