10.00 The race starts, a massive human wave invades Rue de la Loi, easy to respect the below speed sign.
Close-up on Bill.. heartbreaking Tervuren uphill is once again left behind!!
Our imperturbable Greek arrow: what has he noticed in front of him?
Finish: Cristina, Isabel and Silvio holding hands while crossing the line. Cheers!
Enthusiastic feeling of some of our representatives: is it the first reaction to a great achievement or maybe the will to attack portuguese food and refreshments?
15.00 Pain seemed already far behind while tons of portuguese "bacalhau" and "picanha" meat as well as galloons of SuperBock were litterally devoured.
17.13 Final bill represents without any doubts the team's Personal Best and will run for the Best Sports Banquetting Performance of the Year.
A special thanks to all friends and fans who accompanied us during the race and in the after-race biggest efforts. A special hug goes to Julia, Adriana and Daniele for "free of royalty" pics!
