I agree, the guy comes across as a bit of a knob but that's not something I'd wish on anyone. I hope he makes a full and quick recovery.

Jeez - and didn't redgrave crash out ? This race has had a couple of fatalities in its history.

Hope he's ok.

Rowing across oceans and racing to the north pole is clearly safer than cycling on the roads.

cougs - Redgrave was doing RAAM; Cracknell is doing the Great Divide which is a MTB bike

You sure FB?

These suggest a road ride? (and row and swim and run!)

250 miles a day, 10 days in a row? 80 Badwater miles in a day? Don't buy it myself!

I think the Great Divide was meant to start in August?
