Cyril finished 3th

Cyril finished his ride on the morning of August 1st at 07:36. He faced a heavy thunderstorm at San Bernardino and experienced strong winds around Bellinzona. We found Cyril overnight in Leventina, where he stopped for a few hours of sleep in a church near Quinto. Early in the morning, he began the final climb from Airolo to Passo del San Gottardo, ascending 930 meters and navigating 37 switchbacks through the famous Tremola.

This was Cyril’s second Swiss-BikeAdventure. Last year, he unfortunately had to withdraw after drinking contaminated water.

Congratulations Cyril, well done!

Joris Bosch is our second 2024 finisher

Joris Bosch from Holland arrived on July 31, 2024, at 19:49, which is seven hours after Fabio reached the “Evil Statue” that marks the finish in Andermatt. He completed the 1300 km route around Switzerland in 4 days, 13 hours, and 49 minutes.

Joris faced heavy rain during the final climb up Gotthard Pass, but it didn’t slow him down. Fortunately, the road was dry again for the downhill stretch to the finish.

Congratulations Joris for a great achievement!

Fabio Zanini cycled 560km in 37 hours

Fabio Zanini is leading the field 40km in front of Joris Bosch and Sandro Büttel. Fabio cycled 560km in 37 hours. All the riders are currently in the Jura. The Jura gets often under estimated and may offer harder climbs as the Alps.

We added two ghost riders to the map:
The first will finish in the time Christoph Fuhrbach needed in 2021 on a different route. A bit longer and a little more climbing. The second will finish in the time Aleš Vaníček needed last year on the exact same route. The two ghost riders don’t stop, they continously keep going until the finish.
