A headcanon explained

It's the first day of the Tour de France and like every year for a couple of years now, I start vaguely yearning to write that "Cass Cain infiltrates the Tour de France to investigate a Red Lantern" fic. The Red Lantern part of that summary is due o the last person in the Tour de France's rankings being called "la lanterne rouge" (ie, "the red lantern"). The Cass Cain part needs, slightly more explaination.

I once mentionned that it is my headcanon that Cass Cain is half-Basque on her father's side and someone suggested Euskatel Euskadi, the all-Basque cycling team (now sadly defunct), should hire her.

Despite what you might think, that eadcanon has a basis in reality.
