Chase the Sun: Should Group Riders Get an Asterisk?

205 miles, sunrise to sunset, and the only official who decides who won is ninety-three million miles away and has never waited for anyone.
Jack follows Chase the Sun UK South, coast to coast from the Isle of Sheppey to the end of the Grand Pier at Weston-super-Mare. There's a 4:30am start that one rider prepared for with sleeping tablets, and a support car that follows the slowest riders across England offering advice but refusing lifts. South London ends one solo rider's day at eighty miles. Cheddar Gorge is where they found Britain's oldest complete skeleton, and skulls polished into drinking cups. And the finish line is a pier that has burned down twice.
Of 875 starters, 578 beat the sunset and 125 never reached Weston. Then the real question: is 205 miles on someone's wheel, with a car full of sandwiches, the same ride as 205 miles alone?
Jack runs the drafting physics, tests the e-bike comparison, and makes a modest proposal about ribbons.
Solo and unsupported, or group and support car: should they get the same medal? Tell us.
