Sehili se rozhodl překonat dosavadní rekord Němce Jonase Deichmanna, který v roce 2017 přejel trasu z Lisabonu do Vladivostoku o takřka 18000 kilometrech za 64 dní a dvě hodiny.
Francouz se rozhodl pro úplně stejnou trasu. Jenže právě tady nastal problém. „Nezvolil jsem Vladivostok jako konečný bod svého putování sám, prostě to bylo cílové místo předchozího rekordmana, takže jsem ho musel zvolit také,“ vysvětloval pro ruskou agenturu RIA Novosti.
Do cíle Sehilimu zbývalo pouhých 170 kilometrů a byl blízko k vylepšení času. Jenže místo rekordu a návratu domů si dvouměsíční putování nechtěně prodloužil. Čínské úřady mu totiž podle deníku L’Équipe odmítly umožnit vstoupit do Ruska přes plánovaný hraniční přechod jinak než vlakem, což se ultracyklistovi nezamlouvalo, jelikož by to zneplatnilo jeho pokus o rekord.
Sehili se proto rozhodl zariskovat a pokračovat na kole. Nejprve skrze zalesněný terén, poté podél železniční trati až k ruské celnici. Tam byl ovšem zadržen. „Rozhodl jsem se projet Eurasii na kole, protože se mi líbila ta myšlenka, že mohu jet tisíce kilometrů a nic mě nezastaví. Zastavím se teprve tehdy, když uvidím moře a dál už to nejde. Právě ta délka cesty pro mě byla výzvou. Dojet na konec světa, kam už dál cesta nevede,“ líčil jezdec.
Avšak jeho pouť skončila začátkem září neslavně, cesta totiž nevedla ani do Ruska. Sehili zůstává ve vazbě a je obviněn z neoprávněného překročení státních hranic, za což mu hrozí až dva roky vězení. Na začátku října soud zamítl jeho odvolání, Francouz tak zůstává ve vazbě nejméně do 8. listopadu, dokud nebudou vyřízena další odvolání.
Šampion řady vytrvalostních závodů tak z východu Ruska neodjede s rekordem, ale pořádně krutým ponaučením. A navíc zatím ani netuší, kdy se bude moct vrátit domů.

Edwards: England’s best cricket ahead of them at World Cup
Charlotte Edwards has vowed England's "best cricket" is yet to come ahead of their World Cup showdown with co-hosts India on Sunday.England were indebted to the Colombo rain on Wednesday after Pakistan ripped through their top order to reduce them to 79-7. Wet weather in the Sri Lankan capital halted Pakistan's pursuit of 113 for victory after just 6.1 overs as England stretched their unbeaten start to the tournament to five games.After four wins and a no result, just two more points are required for England to book their ticket to the semi-finals - and Edwards has her sights set on securing them against India in Indore."We've spoken about it, it would be silly not to," said the England head coach. "One of my messages to the team is that we don't want to dwell on it. "We're going to […]
The two incredible offers the Patriots turned down for Drake Maye
The New England Patriots' decision to stay at No. 3 to draft Drake Maye raised eyebrows at the time, but recent reports reveal just how much they turned away. According to renowned journalist Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, several teams plied New England with major packages in an attempt to move up and grab the North Carolina product. "So the Vikings offered them the 11th pick, the 23rd pick, a 2025 firstround pick," Breer said during an appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub. "So they were offered three firstround picks and then pick swaps later on. And then the Giants offered their firstround pick, which was sixth. So they would only have to move down three spots. Then their 2025 firstround pick. Then, I believe, a thirdround pick." Ultimately, the Patriots stood firm. Even though the franchise still had significant holes to fill, they believed Maye was worth more […]
