Via Race, Chapter II: The Finish Line

Two weeks. 4,000 km. One unforgettable journey.

In this final chapter of our VIA Race coverage, we celebrate the riders who conquered the road from the south of Italy to the Netherlands, and the community that made it more than just a race. From marriage proposals at the finish line to last-minute sprints, from medieval trade routes to modern-day friendships, this is where it all comes together.

You’ll hear from our champions: women’s winner Gosia Warelich (with fellow rider Kristian Yakubek translating) and overall winner Bruno Witch as they reflect on the challenges, the history, and the joy of the ride.

VIA isn’t just a race. It’s a living, breathing adventure. And this is how it ends.
