🇧🇪 Train from Belgium
0 votesMade it out of the Netherlands! Then Belgium happened. The waffles were great though.
🇩🇪 Train from Germany
0 votesSurvived the Low Countries but Germany's sheer size breaks their spirit. Sehr gut try.

🇮🇹 Train from Italy
0 votesSo close! They actually made it INTO Italy, but collapsed before reaching Cinque Terre. Tragic.
✈️ Abandon bikes, fly home

🤬 Casper and son split up after an argument
0 votesTurns out cycling 120 km/day together tests even the strongest bonds. They finish separately. Or not at all.
🛋️ Casper rage-quits after seeing the elevation profile
0 votesOne glance at the altitude chart and he declares it 'unreasonable'. Day 0 DNF.
