TARNo2 Day 08 // Mind Games
Welcome to The Accursed Race. Lost Dot's no-fly, off-road, fixed route race in the Balkans.
Riders are having to rally against the mounting mental and physical demands of the race, enduring tough and wet conditions as a cluster of arrivals reach CP2 yesterday. After eight days of the rough stuff, it’s no wonder that riders are feeling the effects of this challenge. Many question their willingness to continue, but most persevere towards a race finish. At the remaining front of the race, we see Pierre Bischoff (32), Andy Dodd (06), and Daniel Perotti (15) claim fourth, fifth, and sixth place, respectively.

TARNo2 Day 07 // Broken Roads
Welcome to The Accursed Race. Lost Dot's no-fly, off-road, fixed route race in the Balkans.
Starting the day in Kosovo and heading for Peshkopi, Control Team 1 race ahead of riders to get set up for the best shots. Later at CP2, some are turning up unmotivated while others are on a high, and starting to believe that they will see the finish. We see the top-ten riders arrive in Peshkopi, and Alain Rumpf (08) describes apocalyptic scenes, broken roads, and haunting burnt trees; a setting that left an impression. Overnight the team in Shkodër dot-watch into the night, anticipating the early morning arrival of Christian Dupraz (12).

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.
