A Yes/No mkt would be nice.

Betfair lost ambition IHO .. this moring, Day 3 of the Test in India with 30m GBP so far matched, was only turned in-play after
I sent some snotty twtter msgs to support. (27 mins eventually)

They really dont care.

Didn't know this was happening. Watching it now.
I like the idea of the laser monitoring their time
and the team changeovers every 5km to keep
the pace up. Could we be watching history in the making.
C'mon.

1.44 at 38 km.

I fancy the NO, but know nothing

It would be a good betting heat..

I clicked Euler's link this morning absolutely sure I would be having a peak for 30 seconds and be off, but it was a surprisingly good watch.

The team of top athletes assisting were fascinating me as much as the main man. If you love a number of different sports, team and individual sports alike on different merits, there was something weirdly amazing about all these guys, usually running for themselves, working towards a common goal, but still essentially for someone else to do what most thought impossible.

In a time of seemingly nothing but strife, that was what made it life-affirming in some strange way.
