Might be walking a lot of the loose stuff anyway, depending on if it's up or down. I don't think Mikko had particularly fat tyres last year (25 or 28mm Duranos or something similar).
Actually maybe the Durano were from TCR.

Yeah, he used Marathon Mondial
Agreed.. Probably not everyone entering the race has seen last year's documentary.
Then again, you can do it, but won't be fast on loose surface.
