It was a training in the afternoon. There was a trace of another bike. The road was covered with well compacted snow or hard ice and the asphalt was partially emerged. After the interval training at the summit, he descended. During the descent, he stopped to admire the view of the evening glow. When he was admiring the view, a car of a group of Australian skiers stopped to appreciate what he was doing and took some pictures. They descended together. This car followed him up to the foot of the mountain. The driver must be a good driver because normal cars have difficulties keeping up the speed of the bike on this road surface condition as their tires are not so good as those of bikes on ice.
