[quote="Alan M"]I watched some of it but thought the guy was a bit of a plonker
I saw it, and yes he was a plonker. Under prepared, completely unaware of what he was taking on (seemed surprised it was hot in the desert
), and a poor choice of equipment. Thought he'd break the record easily and just made it inside the cut off. Well done as it's a hard old race but the bloke seemed to think he just had to go out for a long ride and that'd be it.
