Jure Robic wins 5th Race Across America (RAAM)
ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Jure Robic won the Race Across America for a record fifth time Friday, completing the transcontinental bicycle race in nine days, 1 hour, 1 minute.

Just FYI a friend Samim Rizvi rode too, the first Indian in history to qualify for "The Race Across America. Unfortunately had to retire midway due to pneumonia but i'm sure he'll be back.
