Marko je zmagovalec virtualnega svetovnega prvenstva v 12-urnem kronometru, ki je potekalo na aplikaciji Fulgaz in sicer na trasi, kjer se odvija tudi pravo svetovno prvenstvo zadnjih sedem let (Borrego Springs od 2014). Torej je Marko ponovno osvojil zmago po petih naslovih svetovnega prvaka v daljšem 24-urnem kronometru (2015-2019).
On Friday August 28th, 2020 I was participating in the Chasing Cancellara Ultrafondo in Switzerland. I was among the 500 entrants racing from Zurich to Zermatt (280 km and 6500 meters of climbing). Here is what has happened:

Na jutranjem sestanku pred dirko je bilo soglasno odločeno, da se napad na rekord zaradi vremenskih razmer prestavi za en dan, na soboto popoldne. Pravila WUCA za svetovne rekorde omogočajo prestavitev rekordov zaradi slabih vremenskih razmer. Za noč s petka na soboto so v Prekmurju napovedana neurja, nevihte in velika količina padavin. Da bi dali Marku sploh možnost za dosego rekorda, je bila edina možnost prestavitev starta za en dan. Vsi vemo koliko počasneje je potrebno voziti skozi ovinke po mokri cesti in Marko v takih razmerah sploh ne bi imel možnosti za uspeh. K sreči pravila WUCA omogočajo prestavitev in v dogovoru s sodnicama organizacije, je bila sprejeta omenjena odločitev.
Marku želimo miren petek in suho cesto v soboto ter najpomembnejše, močne noge celih 24+ ur, kolikor bo kolesaril! Planirani start rekordne vožnje je sobota ob 14.00, ki pa se lahko še zamakne do konca padavin. Po različnih vremenskih portalih pričakujemo start med 14.00 in 17.00 uro v soboto.
The season 2020 is unique and bike races/events are not happening. As I am trying to get my loyal sponsors some attention and give them something to write about, I decided to go for the World Ultra-Cycling Association record for the fastest 1.000km. On the way there of course there will be other, shorter records to be broken, on the top of my list is the 24h WR on the road, held by Christoph Strasser (896,2km) and my own 12h WR from 2007 (458,7km).
We started thinking about virtual ultra-racing during the lockdown for Covid 19 Pandemic and it seemed such a lovely idea. Gave us something to work toward and kept us motivated in times we weren’t allowed to ride our bikes outside. Somewhere in mid May the restrictions in Slovenia were lifted so we could start riding our bikes outdoors again. Still with the season 2020 in the air, not knowing if any of the ultracycling races are going to be held at all, this was the event I was looking forward. Fulgaz and RAAM organisers were doing their best to bring a proper ultra race to the virtual platform. There were some glitches for Windows based system, but during the Test week all worked pretty good, with some drop downs here and there. Of course I was a bit worried about those, but never ever thought I would be complaining about the race course, which I love in real life.
The Gran Canaria Training Camp was my first big outing with my Diablo bike, by Spiegel Bikes. A little bit about the equipment of my beauty:
After years of only using the Shimano electronic (Di2) shifting, I decided to equip this one with mechanical Shimano Dura Ace groupset for a reason of easier repairing in a case of some problems at Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme 2020. Knowing how the climbing is at Gran Canaria I used the Fulcrum clincher wheelset with 11-32 cassette (and 52-36 chainrings). I did add a triathlon add-on bar for the possible headwind sections and I was glad I did!
Vabljeni na projekcijo filma Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme 2015-2018, v torek ob 18h v Kongresni dvorani Kristalne palače v ljubljanskem BTC Cityju.
Na dirki bo letos prvič nastopil tudi slovenski kolesar Marko Baloh.
Predstavitev bo v torek, 28. januarja z začetkom ob 18. uri v kongresni dvorani v Kristalni palači, Ameriška ulica 8, Ljubljana.
Bodoči udeleženec Marko Baloh, desetkratni udeleženec dirke čez ZDA RAAM, večkratni svetovni rekorder in svetovni prvak v 24-urni vožnji na čas, bo predstavil svoje načrte. Spregovoril bo tudi direktor dirke Paul Bruck.
