Great stuff. Big thanks to Rourkie for giving us the heads-up, great project to get involved in. Guy Martin is made for telly and should be sponsored by Yorkshire Tea. (Even though he's not from Yorkshire.)
(3) There was the whole thing about his fitness and I'm sure he needed to be fit to do it... but how much was down to fitness and how much simply down to how fast the truck was going? To what extent is the record anything to do with being able to pedal and to what extent is it simply preparation and team and balls of steel?
I know they had a lot to fit in and you can't expect them to get too nerdy about any particular angle but I was hoping there would be a bit more on this as well. What were his fitness stats (VO2 max etc.) before and after the 6 month training regime, for example? Everyone loves a before and after, preferably with a Rocky-style training montage in between.
