00:00 3, 2, 1, stop.
00:04 [CHEERING]
00:05 [INAUDIBLE]
00:06 Cycling around the world in 80 days.
00:09 This is everything I've built for it.
00:11 To break the record for the fastest circumnavigation
00:13 of the planet on a bicycle.
00:17 Start finishing the same point, use the same bike,
00:20 18,000 miles.
00:22 Incredible challenge.
00:24 I can see from my team this sort of unblinking belief
00:27 that I could do it.
00:29 I think the only person that questions that is me.
00:34 Need to use the cycle lane where it's possible.
00:37 I got stopped by the police in Holland this morning,
00:40 and I got stopped in Germany this afternoon.
00:43 That is the Chinese border, and it's closed.
00:46 [GROANING]
00:48 I'm not going to get 18,000 miles without things hurting.
00:52 Punishing the homeless.
00:53 It's just making sure nothing becomes a game changer.
00:56 Make some food for Mark, make a new tooth for Mark.
00:59 Far too busy and dangerous.
01:02 I'm not feeling welcomed at all.
01:05 It's not to hang behind you, watch out, it's get off the road.
01:11 Oh, God.
01:13 That is absolutely not where we're going.
01:16 He needs to [BLEEP] decide right now.
01:19 What we do, David, is get him on the fastest route.
01:23 Mark might be riding until half 11, midnight,
01:26 and have two hours sleep.
01:30 He's had a very hard day, and he'll have another one tomorrow.
01:35 This is just torture.
01:38 [GROANING]
01:41 David, can you just get the ops monitors
01:45 and just pull out the trauma bag?
