Something to add to the Challenge Series, Bernard?

Cyclists set for battle in epic round-the-world race: BikeRadar
Ten riders are starting from Greenwich on Feb 18th and racing round the world, each by his own route, and trackable on the web. Until last month, the record was 163 days, but some guy has just broken that with 106 days - though he had a support car, so his ride was a bit of a different kettle of fish. Still, I bet some schedules are getting rapidly revised!
Here's a video of Sean, one of the competitors, who I met at the bottom of a hillclimb in October. He gave me a load of stickers so if you feel a pressing urge to show your support ... you know where to come.
Anyway, onto the important business: how many challenge points should this one be worth? Do you think it deserves a gold award?
