Jure Robic Wins Race Across America Again

New York, 18 June

Slovenian cyclist Jure Robic has finished first in the Race Across America (RAAM) again, becoming the first person ever to win this tough endurance cycling test four times.

Before leaving for the US, the 43-old Robic said his only goal was to win the RAAM for the fourth time, which was also the only reason for him to take part in this race for the sixth time.
The 4,800 kilometre race began in Oceanside, California, on 8 June, taking cyclists across the continent to Annapolis, Maryland, on the East Coast.
