I have been following this over the last couple of week and I see that the winner Ollie Whalley completed it in 16 days 2hrs and 46 mins!

I find that staggering.

Congratulations to him

Not following it that closely for personal reasons but i thought the course was seriously modified due to conditions this year ?

Proper course this year. 2745 miles in full.
Last year was heavily re-routed.

Just awesome. I used to hold the Tour De France riders in high regard, but I am going to save that for the Tour Divide riders from now on.

amazing effort, and he did it without pulling any crazy 24+ stints. Just solid riding all day and 5 or 6 hrs of sleep a night.
