The race finishes at 1pm UK time (2pm Monaco) and we are now almost at the end of the 8-Day event. As you will appreciate, the crew’s first priority at the end of the race will be looking after William – making sure he’s warm enough (body temperature plummets when you stop after an event of this kind, even in Monaco!), getting him a change of clothes, something to drink – and so on. I’m not at all sure how soon the official race site will have the final results, so please bear with me if there is a delay in posting the details here.

What we do know is that William’s eventual 8-day distance will be a Personal Best for William at 8-Days – and a massive new Course Record for Monaco. William’s previous 8-Day PB was 1000km/ 621.371 miles (which he has now passed) but this was set on a more favourable track. The previous Monaco course record for the 8-Day race was held by Sjavik Trond with a distance of 922.4km / 573.15 miles – so William will have smashed this record by some 78km+ / 48miles + (which is a pretty massive increase).

More news as I get it…
