Marko's words after the race:
"The 24h TT World Championships was the main goal of my season. Because of a stellar field, I didn't dare declaring my run for a victory before the race. I was certain that it will take a new course record and more than 500 miles for a victory. It turned out I was right, the guys were breathing down my neck until the end of the race and didn't let me enjoy some slower laps. The fast competition was what brought about the new course record and another 500+ miles 24h race in 2016. I dedicate this victory to my dad, who passed away from brain cancer a month ago. He was always supporting me and was one of my biggest fans. I miss him."
