What's the one piece, like whether that's funding, a race invitation or something less obvious that would help move that timeline to get them to reach that goal?

Yeah, I suppose funding is probably the biggest.

It would have the biggest impact for sure.

The team is a really cool project.

It's been around for a few years.

It's been gaining momentum.

It started off initially with the mindset of instead of taking the African athletes and sort of dumping them in the deep end in Europe and hoping that they'd find a way to swim, The mindset was, okay, we'll bring the highest level of racing to Africa, to our athletes, so that they can evolve and develop in a more comfortable home environment.

Yeah, and since both of you were witness to, you know, different editions of this race and, you know, from La Course presented by Le Tour de France now to a full-on nine-day stage race, what was it like behind the scenes to see those changes happening? And also, you know, knowing that retirement was getting close for both of you.
