Fiona Kolbinger wipes the floor, making history in her first ultra-distance event. 💪🚴 Via guardian
A German cancer researcher has become the first woman to win one of the world’s toughest cycling races in her first ultra-distance event.
Kolbinger was one of 265 riders to begin the seventh edition of the race, which was started in 2013 by the British long-distance cyclist Mike Hall, who was killed during a race in Australia in 2017. These included climbing the 2,474-metre Timmelsjochpass in South Tyrol on the border between Italy and Austria, and traversing the 2,645-metre Col du Galibier, one of the highest paved passes in the French Alps.
The clock does not stop after the riders set off from Burgas on 28 July. Competitors choose where, when and if they want to rest. Riders can only use what they take with them, or what they can find en route at commercially available services, and are not to accept help from friends or strangers.
