    The raw footage at the end tells what it feels like to ride with very little sleep and having to concentrate for such a long period , especially during the night
    I was emotionally touched my Mikey comments from the heart , how he explained what it will feel like in years ahead as you both share and recollect the experience.
    Disagree - you both made the right call in doing this Herculean ride together . I would prefer to suffer like you than trade that for position held by Finley
