No question on Courtney, but I thought François D’Haene season was spectacular

Daniel 01/19/2022 - 1:12 pm

German 01/20/2022 - 5:25 pm

Bobbie 01/19/2022 - 12:29 pm

Courtney didnt win Bigs in ’21 She won in ’20. Harvey Lewis won in ’21. Also… Bigs doesnt have gender place. You either win it all, or you DNF
