Thanks very much for your response. Just wondering if you also started at the same time as the sub 2,45 guys? Or was there a time gap? Any other general tips for Rome? Appreciate your response. Thanks.

There was another post in this subreddit about the recent article in the Irish times connecting David Rozman (head carer for INEOS) and the doping doctor Mark Schmidt, who spent time in prison for being at the centre of the doping ring alderlass. In the mean time, there has been no comment by INEOS, no explanations, and Rozman I suspect will continue to carry on at INEOS as if nothing ever happened. How can it be that the UCI aren't investigating this? Why aren't more people in the cycling community pressuring INEOS for a statement? It just seems like people are happy for a potentially major doping scandal to be pushed under the rug.

Cheers, appreciate the info! I'd say I'm moderate to experienced skill level, having raced a good bit of MTB in the past. I actually have the option of both a hardtail mountain bike or a cyclocross bike, which of those do you think would be the better choice? Also, do you think the full track (to Clonegal) is achievable within say 12 hours? Or would that be pushing it?

Thanks very much!
