Riding the Spine: In Patagonia from Jacob Thompson on Vimeo (a banda sonora é de Tom Waits).
"Reflecting on the journey, I am tempted to expect some clarity as we near the end. If somebody in Ushuaia asks me why I pedaled all that way to arrive in their city, could I say anything that will help them understand? Or rather anything that can even help me understand?
Our trip has been about making a lifestyle out of something you love. It has been about taking that tiny dirt road you may pass by everyday and wonder where it goes. Sometimes it is about ridding yourself of a routine, and discovering where chance may take you – into the lives of new friends and hospitality or into dangerous and challenging circumstances. And yet, every time I think I grasp the purpose of our journey, as if it materializes in the reflection of still water, when I reach down to grab ahold, the object suddenly vanishes."
Jacob, membro da expedição RDS

Após dois anos de disputas judiciais indescritíveis, o desejável será que a competição tenha lugar na água e que ganhe a melhor equipa. Na tripulação de terra do Alinghi há um português de Setúbal, João Cabeçadas, que alinha na sua terceira campanha da Taça América. O Planeta QI torce pelo Alinghi, a primeira equipa a trazer o troféu para a Europa desde a criação da competição.
