I've seen this several times, and each time I can't help but be moved. These guys are at the apex of endurance racing and they push themselves to the point of psychological distress. It takes a certain strength to break but then to keep going, to push further.

Just watched this documentary earlier: https://youtu.be/JjF_m99VAv8
Doing something like that unsupported(Malle Moto) seems absolute insane to me.

Holy shit! Brutal.
Brutal was the exact word i thought of... what a challenge.
The few times i've been stuck in the mud or xyz i've felt totally discouraged in a matter of minutes... to feel that way dozens of times throughout a grueling 18 hour day ... and to be pushed onward by thousands of fans... shit... what a challenge.
Mad respect for this guy.
