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.

The Swiss BikeAdventure 2024 kicks off on July 27th in Andermatt. Some of the major mountain passes are still closed, but the final climb on the route, Gotthard Pass, opened last week, and there’s still plenty of snow! However, the famous Tremola with its 24 switchbacks is still covered in snow.

Last year, there was an exciting showdown on this climb between Aleš Vaníček and Bert Vohn. In the Tremola, Bert was only two switchbacks behind Aleš. While Bert couldn’t see Aleš, Aleš could see Bert from above. In the end, Bert arrived just 15 minutes after Aleš at the finish in Andermatt.

Registration will close at the end of June:
