rich 1.0 Day 7 of TCRNo12 sees the race enter a decisive new phase. Robin Gemperle (001) carries his lead into the Balkans, but with Nicolas Châtelet (126) closing in, the pressure is mounting. Control Team 2 catches riders before they embark on the climbs of Parcours 2a, stops for ice cream in Žulová, and hears from FLINTA riders about the unique challenges of racing the TCR. Plus, Martin Carlsson (091) reflects on route planning, while Katharina Wirth (099) finds strength from within.
