This is an interesting, though very detailed blow-by-blow podcast with Lewis Ciddor, the Aussie guy who won this years Tour divide.
Interesting to me at least on several counts, he is vegan, and he talks about that a little. Is an ex messenger world champ, and he had two guys on singlespeeds on his tail the whole way.
Its damn long, been listening to it for about 3 days already. 2 hours 37.
Lewis is not human. He, Lael Wilcox and all those other ultra endurance poopers are on some other human physiology shit.
