Ena od starejših teorij o RAAM-u govori o tem, da se dirka odloča šele po Mississipiju. Dogajalo se je namreč, da so bile velike prednosti pridobljene na ravninah Kansasa hitro izničene v Apalačih, ki sledijo prečenju največje reke Severne amerike.
V obdobju Jureta Robiča se je to spremenilo. V vseh treh primerih ko je zmagal je na Mississipi pripeljal z neulovljivo prednostjo. Tudi danes ima že več kot 14 ur prednosti pred zasledovalci.
Seveda je RAAM dolg in neusmiljen in odločen šele čisto na koncu. To zahteva polno zbranost Jureta in ekipe do konca.
Jure je že včeraj povedal, da se veseli klancev West Virginije. V vsakem razgovoru pokaže, da je dobre volje in da ga mučita samo zaspanost in več kot razumljiva utrujenost. Nobenih pritožb čez prste ali običajna vnetja sedala.
Za zajtrk je pojedel 3 jajca in za kosilo mlečni riž.
Zaradi prednosti, ki jo ima se veliko več ustavljamo in tako poskušamo olajšati napor. Pomagajo tudi vaši zapisi v knjigi gostov, ki mu dajejo dodatno moč.
V času od zadnje novičke smo prevozili območje med Misourijem in Mississipijem. Trenutno stojimo na TS34, tik pred mostom čez Mississipi.

ENG:
One of the older theories of RAAM suggests that the results of the race only begin to get determined after the racers pass the Mississippi. That is to say, that many times the huge leads that were enjoyed during the straight roads of Kansas quickly vanished at the Appalachians, where they follow the path of North America's largest river.
In the Jure Robic era, this all changed. In each of the three races he has won, it was at the Mississippi where he really increased his lead to an insurmountable one, and as of today, he already has more than a 14-hour lead over the competition.
Of course RAAM is long and unforgiving, and the winner is decided only at the very end. This requires total concentration from Jure and his team, right up to the end.
Jure already expressed yesterday that he's excited about the hills of West Virginia. In every conversation he mentions that he's in great spirits and that the only things bothering him are sleepiness and, understandably, weariness. No complaints otherwise regarding his fingers or the usual inflamed buttocks.
For breakfast he ate three eggs, for lunch he had rice pudding.
Because of his lead, we're stopping much more frequently and trying to alleviate strain. Your comments in the guest book help a lot as well, which give him additional strength and inspiration.
Since the last news we drove through the range between the Missouri and the Mississippi. We're currently at TS34, just before the bridge over the Mississippi river.
