Transcontinental Race: London – Istanbul

[German Tourist]

Great and very emotional 4 episode video about a German and a Turkish cyclist racing London – Istanbul. It is all about the power and glory of bike racing…..

The route was 3,300 km long – the winner cycled it in 7 days and 13 hours……

So many basic truths about long hard endevors.

So many basic truths about life.

Thank You.

I see a pretty fit Swedish guy leaving behind a woefully untrained and unprepared Turkish guy.
Not exactly "the power and glory of bike racing".
Stopping at the Muur was a pretty cool idea, though.

Now that's a travel documentary ! What an adventure … now I want to start riding more…

This is a very different documentary and I love the way how they focus on the emotions of the riders, how they focus on the hardships endured and the way the two riders changed mentally. Even the visual approach is stunning. I think episode 2 is best when they both go through the very lowest point of their race.

Even I am thinking of bike racing now….
