Well, good luck. I enjoyed following your progress last year. It actually helped me a lot in thinking about what I want from my own bikepacking so wasnât entirely just about dot watching.
Using Streetview made me really want to visit some of the places you passed through.

320kms per day; thatâs a hell of an average! Wishing you the best of luck, Matt. Will be following.
Awesome! Good luck fella will be following with interest.
TT1.0 old guard will understand when I proclaim you the âSavaloyâ of TT2.0. How you stay married is a mystery to me

Start is similar, last year start was in Geraadsbergen in Belgium, this year start is in Roubaix in France, however the first parcours, which is 70km long ends in Geraadsbergen.
The end last year was Thesoloniki in Greece, this year the end is in Istanbul and includes around 900km in Asia
The last couple of years TCR has crossed the Balkans, however, past races have been further East, for example heading through Romania and Bulgaria

Looks to be well up the field, certainly more than I recall from the early stages last year ⌠guess weâll see when the various rider streams converge in Austria.
