Was there going to be a tv program documenting his ride, or was he just doing it for himself ?
I think it lost its way.
Try The Adventure Syndicate for a bit more direction.
Was the whole thing not a bit of a flop? I seem to recall unintended detours etc.
he did it as an ITT, fully unsupported, for himself, not in the grand depart, and also went incognito.
I thought the tour divide (and other?) organisers tend to frown upon TV crews for a rider, since it can remove the "unsupportedness".
Okay sounds like no TV program then. Which is fine by me, as I very much like the unsupported nature of it.
On my bucket list to do, whether to race ( start with others ) or tour more slowly is the only decision.
In his book "To Catch The Worm" he says that the original plan was to film it but they scrapped the idea because of various reasons, not least logistics.
He rode it under the pseudonym 'Terry Smith' to avoid any media attention.
