Tour de France Virtual Reactions

Stage 1 (4th June)

Speaking after the race Susanne Andersen said: โ€œI think it definitely lived up to the expectation of being really hard from the start. It was my first ever virtual race and I kind of enjoyed it through all the suffering and it was nice to feel some race nerves again.โ€

Nikias Arndt explained: โ€œFrom the start it was full gas. I suffered for 20 minutes in the first group but I had to let go. I found a nice group and we just rode to the finish line. It was a nice experience and completely different to a normal road race.โ€


Stage 2 (5th June)

โ€œSurprised! Iโ€™m happy with the outcome today, I did my best. Iโ€™m happy with how I played it and played the game.โ€ Anna Henderson on her ninth place finish.


Stage 3 (11th July)

Speaking after the sprint finish where she was our first rider home, Pernille Mathiesen said: โ€œIt was a hard one today. We had good numbers in the front which was nice but weโ€™re still learning how and when to use all of the power ups in the game.โ€


Stage 4 (12th July)

Finishing in a very close and great second place, Anna Henderson said: โ€œWe were definitely in a better place today โ€“ we had more knowledge. We had some good teamwork and a good lead out from Liane at the end!โ€

โ€œIt was good fun pinning on a number again. It was nice to do something competitive again and with us at our team altitude camp Iโ€™m happy to not have completely destroyed myself!โ€ explained Chris Hamilton after the race.
