The spot will probably go to Rinka, and deservedly so, but I'd love for Yuhana to get it.

I love Yuhana, too, but I agree that Rinka will get it - and it will be well deserved.

Hocke/ Kunkel out. Stopped at the airport on their way to Sapporo due to a positive Covid-Test of Annika. Japan still requires PCR tests, where virus parts still can be found weeks after the contraction. Both have had Covid before the French GP.
