• Didn't Allegaert sleep in a ditch on Falls Creek or something last year? There was a moment when people where concerned about his safety, his dot wasn't moving, stalled in a random spot, and it was sub zero that night?

  • Correct. He’s been through all that shit before in TCR so sleeping in ditches in sub zero ain’t nothing.

    In TCR no1 I dont think he carried any sleeping stuff.. just found some cardboard.

    I wasn’t planning to sleep, i just wanted to finish this race, but around 01h i just needed to lay down, and found the perfect spot around the corner of a gas station. Fixed myself a cardboard bed, it felt wonderfull. an hour and a half later i was eating pizza an started the last part of my race to Istanbul.

  • "The long search for a good bivouac place meant that I could have fallen asleep on my bike. I absolutely did not want this, and I lay straight down beside the road. Through fatigue I forgot to set an alarm to wake me and so I slept much longer than usual. This was a small problem on the one hand and on the other hand I had a real sleep which would allow me to go thorough for the last 1000 kilometers. Knowing that Mike had not slept too much during the past week, this night’s sleep investment was well worth it.

    Days 12 and 13: Falls Creek – Tarago 760 km
    Back on my bicycle, I discovered that I had slept just below the summit."
