• First time following this or any other type of filthy long endurance race for me and I have to say the numbers these riders are putting out are insane. As for Abdullah, vegan broccoli or not this dude is making everyone else look slow, truly impressive ride. Should he win would it challange the traditional cycling aesthetic or is it that the top dogs aren’t taking part?

  • Can never compare as conditions different but if he had been racing last year and done the same distance he would probably be 4th or 5th. Stephane in second place has come around 10th in the TCR. He is doing a fabulous ride but there are others, including someone on this forum, who have ridden at an even higher level. That said it is his first event and most people get better with experience so it is great to see another excellent rider come through.
