Stories from the Transcontinental Race, the Trans Pyrenees Race, and The Accursed Race. At the sharp end they are beautifully hard bicycle races, simple in design but complex in execution. Factors of self reliance, logistics, navigation and judgement burden racers’ minds as well as their physiques. The strongest excel and redefine what we think possible while many experienced riders target only a finish.

TCRNo9 | Pre-Race
Follow along with the ninth edition of the Transcontinental Race (TCR) with daily podcasts from Lost Dot.
In this pre-Race episode, Race Director Andrew Phillips gives an overview of this year’s route and CPs. Race Coordinator David Ayre touches upon the history and spirit of the race, and the equitable Mike Hall Bursary. We hear a word from last year’s winner, Christoph Strasser, TPRNo2 winner, Robert Müller, and hard hitter Jaimi Wilson. We learn more about Nolan Decreton, a Mike Hall Bursary recipient (and the youngest person to take part in the TCR), and a special pairs duo is spotlighted. Buckle up, clip in, and get acquainted with this year’s host, Iain Broome, who will be making sure we don’t miss a beat on all things #TCRNo9.
The Race starts on 23 July, 2023 at 22:00CEST.
The stage is set and all there’s left to do now is race!
