He climbs well. He sprints well. He fears nothing. He’s got a big future I think.”

Full commitment to the theme here. Log cabin vibes and the cowbell is commendable and kind of kitsch.
The Swiss flag is incorporated into the bed sheets and the chair to really drill in the Swiss theme. It’s perfection – it’s prime 2018 Sagan.
