Summary
Lizzy Banks immerses herself in the world of ultra-endurance racing as she follows the riders at All Points North as they take on a 1,000-kilometre ride around the north of England.
A weekend of dotwatching prefaced a nailbiting run in to Sheffield for the 1,000-kilometre sprint between the first two riders.
Finally, Tom and Lizzy look back at the Paralympic and Olympic games and speak to Italian track rider Martina Alzini about that team pursuit final and what's next for the Italian women's team.

| 0:08.8 | me when I'm on the turbo but it's just calling me while I'm sat down making service |
| 0:12.4 | course today. It's very, very muggy in this shed. Hello, it's Tom here. Just a quick head |
| 0:17.6 | up about this episode. There's loads in it. That's why I'm here to tell you about that stuff. |
| 0:22.8 | Lizzie has been covering the all points north. Don't call it a race race which is a thousand |
| 0:29.4 | kilometres. Don't call it a race race which started and ended in Sheffield. I've been speaking |
| 0:35.0 | to Marcel from New Motion Labs about their experience at Eurobike which was their sort |

| 1:41.0 | of a little bit disappointing being on the other side of a bike race. They arrive and then they |
| 1:44.6 | go so quickly and then it's over but it was very exciting nonetheless. Well, I mean, I mean, |
