For all the cringey and kitsch social media antics that have come out of this modern era of cycling , I guess there are sometimes a few teams which manage to nail the medium and hit the mark. “Hello guys, just wanted to come out and say that I’m going to the Tour de France and you might be wondering what I’m doing inside my Salomon suitcase,” says Cort after awkwardly getting out of the suitcase, and of course mentioning the brand name because what is a social media post without a cheap few bucks from the sponsor.
