Vlakvark T Posted November 30, 2017 Share so at this stage of the game, let's go down the current leaderboard. Who is Marco Martins? either this guy -  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0554076/  this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Martins_(fencer) or this guy http://radiovizela.pt/gestao/img_noticias/499303c805d70aee02a8394a391b9fa4.jpg http://www.radiovizela.pt/gestao/img_noticias/870cd15960a22eff2013ab3ace80bef1.jpg let's go with the third option: https://www.strava.com/athletes/3425615#interval?interval=201711&interval_type=month&chart_type=miles&year_offset=0 He either travels a CRAPLOAD or is able to do some weird Zwift type virtual courses a lot.either way he has ridden about 60 hours/1700km a month for the past year, so munga no big dealHis longest ride was 405 km according to strava Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milky4130 Posted November 30, 2017 Share The gap between the front two and rest appears to be getting significant. might be hard to catch that up with the current pace they are ridingI reckon Dion is giving a Marco a good run for his money here. From Marco's previous race strategey his goal is to get the opponents out of sight as that plays heavy role in the psychological battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-Boy Posted November 30, 2017 Share looks like DB is out    chatted to him earlier. medics picked him up, he can't hold down any food and has zero energy. Really bummed for him, I did a few training rides with him and he was super strong even with his tank (loaded bike)Yup heard the same thing, sad for him. He said his legs were still good but without nutrition he had no energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJDT Posted November 30, 2017 Share Marco Martins on the move again...How long can your body cope with this extreme, lack of sleep + assuming your avg HR is about 70% for hours on end?Last question is it good for your overall health...not immediate but long term effects on what this guy is doing?

Velouria Posted November 30, 2017 Share I was hoping to see Jeans Bierman feature... It's still too early in the race to take him out of contention. I have a sneaky suspicion that the front guys are going a little too hard, and are going to pay for this pace later on.

Andrew Steer Posted November 30, 2017 Share I was hoping to see Jeans Bierman feature... It's one of the things I love about these long hauls... the big names (faster guys) seldom come out on top. Fitness, power etc are important to a point, but then the head and heart takes over.  The jump from 361's to the Munga is like going from winning a 42km Trailseeker to klapping Attakwas jugheaddave, avatar and Rudi Pollard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Steer Posted November 30, 2017 Share PS: Mr Biermans is a bloody machine, hope my point doesn't detract from that... Munga is just another level up from these long 1 day events in my uneducated guestimates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
