very curious about his campy disc brake setup

It's a Campagnolo Chorus H11 disc groupset.

wouldn't be my first choice for reliability riding round the world

Don't see why not. It's hardly bleeding edge technology, and I've always found Campagnolo to be if anything more durable than Shimano, particularly at the sub-Record levels. My Chorus groupset keeps on plugging away reliably on my winter bike despite being caked in many months of road grime and muck, at the point where 105 groupsets are getting a bit finicky and upset with the world.

It would be if your sponsors insist on it

Shame.

Looks like he's having fun on his new ride

He does want to beat a record, though.

How do you tell who's doing the full route?

Click on a rider and in the rider profile box on the left it tells you which route they are doing. Looks like all the top three are heading to Tarifa.
