    Finally some coverage.. it's sad, he should be getting featured in every cycling magazine and CZcams channel out there.. You guys are legends!!

    I just watched this for the first time after following the Rhinorun. I now understand how he was able to pull through and overtake Benky when it looked certain he was going to be second. Such incredible strength in brain and body. Such an inspirational person with an awesome outlook on life.

    Abdullah is absolutely an enigma. We are so enamoured with his story that we are making a feature documentary. Let's hope that if we can get this film made, Abdullah will finally get the recognition he deserves!

    The lack of cycling media coverage is really disappointing for such a huge achievement. Having said that, GCN did mention it briefly in one of their vids.

  • @paulsmith634
    @paulsmith634 Před 5 lety +66

    This video is so rewarding from a long time viewer; to see Abdullah from years back and Rhino, both world ultra competitors, Thank you.

    I have watched Abdullah since he appeared in the early cycling maven channel as he was starting crits, I have watch him making the decision to do the indipac and when I seen him do the trans am I was awwwwwwed by his performance, this guy does not get the credit he deserves, a REAL LEGEND in my book and a natural talent for ultra endurance.
    Abdullah if you have a go fund me page for your events post it here, i'll put a few bucks your way, the sport needs more people like you.
    I think your the best ultra cyclist in the world, given the funds I know you would break records all over the world.

    What a great interview. Very enjoyable listening to Abdullah’s unique take on life, the universe and everything. For anyone looking at the length of this podcast and thinking “that”s too long, I can’t do that”, just watch it in sections. Take an intermission break, get some popcorn. It’s worth it.

    Thanks, Mark, and congrats to Abdullah on his achievements.
    I’ve been fighting a battle with rheumatoid arthritis over the past three years, and my training has gone from 350 km a week to 20. I still have my mental strength, but this interview was exactly what I needed and much appreciated. Abdullah, all the best with whatever is next! :)

    Glad the Dot watching opinion was addressed, I popped out to see Rhino come through Ayrshire the other day and I was a bit nervous about how he'd respond. Turned out I was the first watcher and he was buzzing to stop for a chat! Great interview Mark!

    Awesome podcast, Mark!. Really like the way it came out. You guys have a great chemistry together on camera and that makes a huge difference. It's already been said, but AZ is a monster athlete. It would be great to see him try the Trans Continental Race next year.

  • @TheRoshan89
    @TheRoshan89 Před 5 lety +5

    I agree, very disappointing that the mainstream cycling media isn't covering this. At the very least GCN should have, but then again they are only interested in making videos that promote their sponsors.

  • @jimmyp7638
    @jimmyp7638 Před 5 lety +1

    Out of all the cycling podcasts I’ve listened to about endurance sports or sports in general this would have to be THE most insightful and inspiring interview I’ve ever listened to! He always have such a unique way of explaining life experiences and to adapt to problems both mentally and physically.
    I wonder if Durianrider will be up to challenge him again 😂😂

Aged 68 I have always thought it was a great excuse not to enter it but it turns out others my age and older enter so I will have to think of another excuse now. These events need to have a higher public profile and more recognition for the competitors.
