  • I’m kind of pleased, it’d be lovely to see Mike’s record never beaten as a sign of respect.

    Nice thought but too many people want to be the one that beats Mike's record. Eventually, like most records, it will be forgotten about by the current crop of riders (or we'll all be underwater or in a nuclear winter or something)

    Also, imagine racing and two people are above record pace - you think Mike would convince the other guy they both slow down? Not likely.

    If it has to fall, I'd like to see it beaten because two people are duking it out

    Absolutely agree.

    I think I read that Sofiane hasn’t taken ‘sleeping gear’ for this attempt either, which is an interesting move if true - especially given the weather conditions near the Canada/US border and all the subsequent rescues.

  • Does he ever take sleeping gear? He probably looked and assumed he'd just ride through anything. Whereas the slower riders can't or won't push through.
