Don’t think this has been done yet? Sounded simple at first but after a little thought I realised what a huge undertaking this is.

Hope he does it, think he gets a lot of love on here and seems like a sound guy.

That was being mooted for the Giro, I was disappointed it didn't happen. I think he can do it. He's got all day to do each stage. Mark Beaumont managed 18000mls in 80 days (OK he had support).

He's done quite a few adventure style events, but nothing this big. Check out the EF Gone Racing stuff on YouTube - Badlands, GBDuro etc. He comes across well.

Really hope he pulls this off - about 5500km unsupported vs the 'regular' TdF of about 3500km. And he's hoping to get to Paris around the same time!!
