    Legend. RIP Jure.
    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    I have to admit I had never heard of this guy until I read the article this morning.It seems a shame that we are force fed x-factor and 'jungle' contestants instead of truly heroic characters like this fella.

    This I believe was a few months ago.

    Ultra Cycling is dangerous though of course, he was training.

    His brother commited suicide in August 2010, then he died in an accident in September 2010. Bad luck for the Robics huh.
