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 | Day 10
Join us for day 10 on the ground in Thessaloniki, where we hear from our very first winner of the Green Leaderboard, Tim De Witte (024). He tells us why sustainable transport matters to him and reflects upon his Race. We hear from Will Vousden (119) fresh off of the finish line, talking of how good it feels to finish after an unfortunate and unexpected scratch at TCRNo8. Further back we catch up with Jaimi Wilson (004) who wants to ride her own Race and stay focused on herself. Near Theodoriana the Control Car 2 team are waiting for riders ahead of Parcours 4b when they get a chance to speak with a local who has been watching #TCRNo9 unfold in his village over the last few days. What does he make of the TCR?
