Are they worthy?

Well, Rupp and Gerbig have finally fielded their 4 man team, the Hoosiers. But, the other two are from California and Colorado. Dave Tanner seems to have retired from ultra-distance events. Would love to see a true Hoosier team. I've got a few names to suggest for 2011!

Time Station Tidbit


Jure' Robic has the most experience with the roads between TS 38, Sullivan, IN and TS 39, Bloomington, IN. Why?


2010 is the 3rd year that Bloomington has been part of RAAM. Robic won RAAM rather handily in 2008. However, in 2009 the route was changed due to possible road construction, but Robic's crew had Jure' ride the 2008 route. Hence, he was penalized 30 minutes for riding off course and it was his third penalty, and the time penalties accummulate. Thomas Wyss was actually now ahead of Robic in Bloomington, IN!
2010 route is back to the 2008 that goes through Solsberry on rather hilly terrain.
