Transcontinental Race (London - Istanbul) - #TCRNo4

As someone who has been planning on entering next years race since late 2015...

Fastest is a hard term to define. Over that kind of distance I find comfort will come in to play (as many current riders are discovering).

Current plans are for a TI frame, carbon fork plus wide tires/wheels. Relatively relaxed geo but with TT bars.

We (Talbot) can make an entire bike that's focused entirely on the challenge - so the riders morphology, the kit etc, I'd love to work with a luggage designer from a clean sheet starting point to look at how we could design bike, luggage, electronics, hydration and so forth as a complete system that majored on comfort at (long distance) pace alongside aerodynamics. It's a fascinating challenge when you consider all the various parts that go into it.
