Michael Brandstoetter Age 48 / Vienna (Austria)īIKE: I will be riding the Trans Balkan on a Ti 2021 Falkenjagd Aristos CR Gravel. After digging through the rigs, head over to the event page to follow along live. Find his gallery mixed in with some user-submitted photos below, featuring details on the bikes, bags, and gear taking on this year’s race. There are more than 130 riders taking on the event this year, and, similar to last year, photographer Andrea Securo-organizer of the Veneto Trail and creator of the Veneto Divide and Asiago Loop-was at the starting line capturing photos of the riders’ setups.
The 2023 event sees a new route that will bring new challenges and surprises for all the riders, and we’re excited to see how the race plays out. Lael Wilcox finished first in the women’s category with a time of 6 days, 4 hours, and 23 minutes, and the fastest overall time was from Lieven Schroven with a time of 5 days, 6 hours, and 9 minutes. It also offered fantastic scenery that made it all worthwhile. Last year’s event challenged riders with tons of climbing, limited water and resupply, and heatwaves and thunderstorms. The inaugural event saw a huge number of participants, but only 30 solo riders and 12 pairs finished. The event follows a 1,300-kilometer off-road route across the Balkans, providing an unforgettable journey across karstic landscapes and thick forests through the history of the former Yugoslavia. The second edition of the Trans Balkan Race took off from the small town of Sežana, Slovenia, earlier this morning.
