Two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard is wearing a high quality mask at the start of the race. He said: “I hear already that there’s some sickness in some teams and I’ve had a history of being sick in my last two Grand Tours, so as you said: ‘Better safe than sorry.’” Great job! 👏

Here’s more context on how the DR Congo team had to overcome several hurdles due to the devastating Ebola outbreak, including cancelling training, having other countries cancel practice matches, and not being allowed in the US until they had quarantined in Belgium for 21 days.
What an incredible World Cup by the DR Congo team, who overcame a devastating Ebola outbreak and war, and brought unity and hope to so many through dark times. Fimbu!
