This is part two of my interview with Jacob.

Remember, last week we had part one where we talked in detail about what went on behind the scenes at the sub seven, sub eight project, and in particular in Jacob's team, which Jacob put together to set a blazing fast three hour, 16 minute bike time, leading Joe Skipper to his sub-seven attempt and well successful attempt.
