Today’s race report is a special one. It’s a special one first because it comes with the words of veteran Marcus, who has an undeniable talent for writing, but it’s mostly special as it ends up being a “no-race” report.
Indeed, following a series of unfortunate events in the first hours of the BikingMan Laos, Marcus had to resign himself to scratch from the race, not being able to repair properly with enough time to stay in the race by reaching Checkpoint 1 before its cut-off time.
But what started as a deeply saddening outcome turned out to be the beginning of a different, enriching, journey.

To know more about Marcus’ adventure in Laos, read his race report published in Lao Airlines in-flight magazine.
