In your opinion, who is the greatest (or perhaps that is best) ultra-endurance cyclist ever?
For me, it’s hard to pick between Mark Beaumont and Christoph Strasser. Would be amazing to see them head to head!

You name a couple of really good ones.
If I might name a couple from the past, I would say Beryl Burton and Mike Hall.

I don‘t think anyone come close to Christoph Strasser for competitive racing. He’s a lovely guy too. I think Mark Beaumont is a different sort of rider in that he seems to go for big records rather than racing.

Jonas Diechmann is by far the best ultra endurance cyclist (multisport athlete).
He’s an absolute beast: https://jonasdeichmann.com/
Sean conway and even Mark Beaumont himself compete or try to beat his records.

Great shout! I had never come across him but he looks amazing and still really young. From his bio he seems more of a records kind of cyclist than a racer.

Yeah, can’t say I was aware of Diechmann, but solid athlete after researching him. Great shout, Rodrigo
