French cyclist Sofiane Suhaili was released by a Russian court
A Russian court released a French biker on Thursday after convicting him of illegally crossing the Russian border, RIA News Agency reported.
Sofiane Suhaili, a French national who describes himself as an “ultra-endurance racer and adventure cyclist,” was released by a court in Russia’s Far East and exempted from paying a $50,000 fine, RIA reported.
French newspaper Le Monde reported in September that Siheli was arrested after twice trying to cross the Russian border from China while trying to break the world record for the fastest bicycle crossing of the Eurasian landmass, from Lisbon to Vladivostok.
