(Brajkovič, Valjavec, Hauptman, Murn, Božič...)

He is very well known among those of us who follow RAAM and UMCA events. I personaly don't know of the other riders you mentioned though. Is Robic from Ljubljana? (Pronounced Loob-Lee-Ah-nah for those who aren't familiar)

I met him last summer when crewing for RAAM, I was sorry to see he developed pulmonary problems and had to drop out!

I would imagine that most of the Slovenian Military knows about Jure. I would guess anyone who follows ultracycling in Europe, like the Kraftwerk 24 hour knows about him.
