Met Sofiane in Kyrgyzstan a few years ago, he’d only just done Tour Divide. I was trekking, he was cycling from Paris to Hong Kong in about a month with no kit. Not a race, just fun. He was kipping in truck stops mainly. He’d had to stop to get forks welded after hitting a kid in possibly Iran or Turkmenistan. Interesting guy, tho my French was too rusty to talk in massive detail.
