the end of the Universe.
Cheers!

Lequack, those pictures look unreal. The Bardet photo and the one with the Groupama riders especially. So nice, lovely... surreal.

Personally, I don't think this stage should have taken place.

But let's enjoy this one as the last event of the year.

Quintana vs. Porte for stage. Schachmann will only watch out for Benoot and Higuita.

What a beautiful day for a bike race! It feels surreal that this is still taking place while the whole continent has basically shut down. But somehow I can't help but think this whole situation fits to cycling as a sport

Porte: "No one really knows if we should be here or not" Well we do know this race should not really be going on...

[Faserr]

Haha. Schachmann ist really chilled.

 

[Lequack]

Yeah it's quite refreshing listening to his interviews.

 

[tobydawq]

Yeah, he's really good in interviews, I must say.

I also thought that 50 minutes for the climb sounded a bit much, so he agreed with me there...
