TCR 10, Transcontinental Race

Victor Bosoni (232), the 22-year-old wild card who has been riding within the top 20 at the front of the Race, is turning around to correct an unfortunate error. Victor had the unpleasant realisation today that he had left his passport and wallet 270KM behind him at a petrol station. A situation that would see some throwing in the towel, Victor has begun a tedious though strong-willed journey backwards to retrieve his essential belongings. Having already climbed over the Grossglockner, it looks as though he may be headed for Brenner Pass, which he will of course then have to come back over again once he has collected his things. Despite a near 550KM detour, the passionate Green Leaderboard rider is still aiming for the Finisher’s Party in Istanbul — a commendable show of determination from the young ultra cyclist.
