Transcontinental Race (London - Istanbul) - #TCRNo4

Look how much Geoffrey Dussault gained on Coyle and Trees!!

brilliant work @skinny chapeau indeed

Like everyone says, beyond impressed with your ride @skinny really ejoyed watching you eat up those miles and hare back up the field after your setback.

Looks like Ultan is in Eceabat first ... will they take a punt for different ferries?

Nelson can't beat him by doing the same thing so might as well try something different. Unless he thinks Dusault is near enough that he fears losing a place to him.

really ejoyed watching your dot eat up those miles

Fixed ('ejoyed' is a nice coinage).

Both at the same ferry port, zooming in, looks like Coyle has started swimming.

Perfectly legal so long as he takes his bike with him.

Chapeau.

Absolutely incredible efforts all round, really enjoying following the event.

Who was the chap who got stung in the eye?

When I grow up I want to race bikes through Europe.

Amazing work @skinny

Drink all the Efes!!

Looks like @hippy is in Greece - what's his estimated finish?

He should finish in the next 12 hours or so, depending on whether he needs a sleep.

He's motivated as @skinny has promised to buy him at least one beer.

Finally heard from @CarlosBI, enjoying his time with the finishers, many questions for Kristof but no secrets revealed so far :D. Amazing how that guy keeps riding with so little rest, and so little (compared to the rest of the Top15)... no powermeter, no heartband, no bivvy bag, no apidura seatbag, not even aerobars ribbon!

Yeah, sure, but he comes across like a dick. Doesn't seem an interesting person. He'll probably skip the party, since as he would say "every time you party, you're not cycling.. You know"

He'd be a better fit with the pros in the tdf

I think he comes across as a perfectly normal person who's quite single-minded in his pursuit of rides like this and isn't particularly articulate in English. I'm sure his interview would be a lot more informative if he could speak his first language.

Sounds a tad confessional Oliver but I can assure you, your English is pretty good.

Familiar faces in this one:

The man's ridden across Europe in just over a week and is conducting an interview in a foreign language, give him a break.

He's more experienced than the rest and I suspect his preparation is top notch.

I think some sleep and shower might help too...

I quite enjoyed the interview, I'm glad smell-o-vision isn't a thing yet.
