Transcontinental Race 2024 \\\\ We Have A Winner!
Direct from Istanbul, I chat with Robin after his finishes the race in 8 days 23 hours and 59 minutes.
He shares thoughts on other riders, recovery and I even get to speak with his very proud father.
Please excuse the slightly poor audio, lots of excitement on the finish line.
Thanks to the race organisers for making it such a positive place to be. Thanks especially to Robin for being so generous with his time at such a critical moment. It meant the world to me to have a short chat with him.

Today will almost certainly see a winner of the 2024 Transcontinental Race. The tenth year is a big year for the race and has attracted some strong riders. I chat in a little more detail about some of the characters in contention for the green leaderboard, the fastest woman and those closing in on Istanbul. For those really 'racing' TCR there seems to be a bit of a theme. Many have come back ye...

It's a two update kind of day after so many mechanicals. Abdullah struggles overnight with punctures, Christoff has 6 in a row with 4 spare tubes and Robin has his sunglasses run over. Lots to catch up on!

There are races within races at the TCR. Some are at the front battling for position. Some are battling to make the time cut. Others may be an internal battle. In this check in we talk about some of the riders closing in on CP1 as closing time looms. #cycling #tcr10 #bikepacking #bikeracing #transcontinental #alps #slovenia

Bad knees, torn calf muscle, saddle sores and mechanical failures. All reasons for people dropping out or 'scratching'. The women's race is taking shape with Jana still out front but a fierce fight for 3rd place. #cycling #tcr10 #transcontinentalrace #bikepacking #bikeracing

    It's so ridiculous that they are handing out "gold medals" at the Olympics in Paris for the most banal achievements...like the lame Olympic "mountain bike" course--with zero mountains--or the short and easy Olympic time trial course-- while people like this--who actually do something amazing and incredibly difficult--go virtually un-noticed and un-known and un-celebrated.

      @@Big_Island_Boi yeah I know what you mean, probably wouldn't want to downgrade any olympic achievements. Impossible to compare. I've always thought this race is sorta beautiful because of how low key it is. There's no big banner at the end. No crowds. Just you and your bike going as far as you can. We all want to see bigger prizes and better coverage, but more coverage means more support and people out on the road and budgets etc etc

    Ah man, six flats… I had the same riding El Piri in June, so frustrating when you just can’t find the culprit and ultimately run out of inner tubes… And *still* Christoph has managed to ride away from Abdullah! Exciting finish ahead!!!

    Abdullah now overtaken by Christoph. He's probably too exhausted but could be a mechanical as well. Probably a fight about 2nd place now. Robin is too far out front now.

  • @TheNWaite
    @TheNWaite 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You hit nail on the head. The debate about being a pair and then not being able to be GC once a partner drops out is an easy one to win. You start as a pair and you have all the benefits of riding with a partner including drafting, moral support, sharing of mechanical parts etc......you start as a solo in GC you have none of that. It would therefore be unfair to those racing in GC as a solo to allow an orphaned pair to be categorised as same. Simple really. TCR as with most of their decisions have got it inch right IMHO.

    • @MaverickCycles
      @MaverickCycles 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, if I'm honest I'm not totally sure what she's asking for. Doesn't seem clear. Sarah says in a recent Instagram post that lost dot should consider reviewing the rules so athletes don't have to choose between safety and forward progress. I don't think it's about being in GC, for the reasons you mentioned it's not appropriate, I think it's just about tracking it somewhere. All a bit weird if you ask me.

    Robin is insanely far ahead :D Looks chill and collected. What i dont understand are these parcours with the gravel and the rocks. Last year it was also sketchy so i dont know why they do this, but maybe this is the spirit of TCR ? The unknown :D I also follow Jana Kesenheimer Cap 10, i think she is the first woman currently making good time. Kudos to victor for turning back :D Cool update video!

    @vangestelcc 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    These updates are nice man, thank you so much! Robin Gemperle doesn't even look fatigued at all, the guy seems to be an absolute animal! Maybe TCR should make a separate classification for riders who switched from solo to pair or vice versa. I totally get how they handle those situations but I guess as a rider you'd want to have a sense of belonging, to really feel part of a bigger group. Not sure if a new classification would help much with that though as there won't be many riders in it. But it's just a bit sad that suddenly you feel like you're all by yourself in such a massive event. I totally get she wants to take part in the cat and mouse game with all the others. Anyway, keep the videos coming, I hope there are some other nice stories to pick out! Maybe some from a bit more to the back of the pack? :)
