Si è messo in testa un'idea meravigliosa e folle, ripulire il ciclismo da solo (o quasi). Ha cominciato l'anno scorso, percorrendo l'intero Tour de France, il giorno prima della corsa vera, per dimostrare che l'impresa è fattibile senza aiuti chimici, anche a una persona "senza un particolare talento", come lui stesso dice di sé. Quest'anno ha deciso di triplicare: Giro d'Italia, Tour de France e Vuelta di Spagna, circa 10.100 Km da oggi al 20 settembre, 14-15 giorni e mezzo sulla sella, se saprà mantenere medie prossime ai 29 km/ora che ha totalizzato nel suo "Altro Tour" lo scorso anno. Per curiosità, il vincitore dell'edizione 2007 del Tour ha concluso la sua corsa a 39 all'ora di media, l'ultimo, il belga Van Sevenant, 141o, ha chiuso a 37,6 circa.

Departing on 19 June 1997 from her hometown of Ptuj, Slovenia, on a BMW F650, she returned to Ptuj on 10 December 2002, setting a Guinness World Record for the longest solo motorcycle journey ever undertaken by a woman, in both distance, 111'856 miles (180'015 km), and duration, 2'000 days.
