I can't say enough good things about this. Congrats to all finishers (yes, and also to those who could not finish). I'm an old man now, but I think I've never had as harrowing a visual experience as this one. I caught my breath every time Damien Desbosses had to adjust his goggles! Still . . . what an experience just to witness this from the safety of my home in Salt Lake City! Many, many thanks.

The fact that he's able to narrate while he rides is amazing. You have to be at your top peak physically to do that.
