Interesting!
The NCT race route is not really comparable to the record attemtpts, because it chooses the backroads, gravel and big climbs. And ferry between Finland and Estonia instead of riding via Russia. And it 1000 km longer. It would be exciting to have the race on a potential continent crossing record route, but in practice it would mean big, busy roads, instead of the adventure it was. But still, Steffen rode that in 21 days.
I met Ian in Meteora, nice guy. Good luck to him.
