Robin Gemperle wins Transcontinental Race: nine days of suffering

While there are silent hundreds cyclists on the course, Swiss Robin Gemperle already took victory at the Transcontinental Coast: earlier this week he crossed the carry out line as winner of the epic event. Gemperle turn out to be the necessary participant to advance – after 8 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes – in Istanbul.

Remaining one year Gemperle misplaced the war for victory of the Transcontinental Coast by magnificent six hours, but now he succeeded in successful the fade: with a lead of magnificent over four hours over Christoph Strasser, he thus now pulled off the victory. On the time of writing, 23 cyclists has crossed the carry out line – the closing of those finishers arrived after 11 days, 17 hours and 19 minutes – but many extra bikers are silent on the course. In entire, contributors have about 14 days to effect the carry out line.

The Transcontinental Coast takes a uncommon course every person year, but is steadily about four thousand kilometers long and a so-called “A-to-B” fade. This one year it started in Roubaix, France, then rode to the Wall of Geraardsbergen and from there contributors could perhaps well determine their very possess route. Handiest situation this one year is that they tick off checkpoints in Slovenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo and Turkey sooner than at closing reaching the carry out line in Istanbul.
