Transcontinental Race (London - Istanbul) - #TCRNo4

This year's course is tougher than last year's and this year's best riders probably stronger than last year's.

To have carried on despite your affliction - rather like hippy finishing despite his saddle sores this year - shows true grit and determination. I am in awe.

Anyway. Where in Framce are you from? What other cycling had you done before becoming involved in this lunacy? How did you get the time to ride for so long??

Huge congratulations @hippy

Enjoy All the beer

fuck yes @hippy. fuck yeah

@hippy! \o/

Time for a well-earned sit-down on an ice pack.

In all the excitement over @hippy we seem to have missed the fact that @bananaskid has finished overnight. Well done Joe!

@hippy Well done, an amazing ride. Long bloody way just to get a beer from @skinny though...

Well done @bananaskid

deep bow to all forumengers that finished, and long live @hippy, the best twitter race updates

Absolutely amazing efforts all round! Big congrats to @hippy and @bananaskid

well done @hippy! Great ride! Same to @bananaskid - awesome stuff!

Top work bananaskid, awesome ride from the youngest rider in the race. Elsewhere the oldest rider in the race, 68 year old Pierluigi Talamona, will shortly be entering Croatia.

Got to mention another notable finisher, Andy Sallnow, the dude who accidentally rode the Stelvio Pass twice.

That was no accident, he has more pokemon than Hippy, FACT!

Isn't that because hippy didn't have any balls left?

Cheers everyone and especially @WornCleat for the unrelenting dot watching!

i was admiring No.7 Emily Chappell's comfortable lead over the nearest solo female No.141 Johanna Josten-van Duinkerken, then noticed No.204 Charlotte Dequevauviller is hot on her heels. Has she sprung out of nowhere? Has everyone just forgotten about her because she's part of a pair?
