The IncaDivide race in Urubamba, Peru, concluded on August 29th. This is one of the most demanding ultra-distance cycling races, where participants covered 1,200 km on gravel roads over nine days without external assistance and in complete self-sufficiency through the Peruvian Andes. Each rider had to manage their sleep, food, daily mileage, and luggage. Frenchman Pierre Rolland won, and Peruvian legend Rodney Soncco finished second.
