Organizers Are Optimistic!
We have no desire in racing anyone anywhere when it is about a global pandemic… From the start, we felt like that to be the first not necessary for us. If anyone beats us, this is great. If not, well then it is going to be exciting that we are the first ones. But safety first, health is above everything…
Senior Manager, Nicolas Estrup
