With his daughter Ella, three months old, and his wife Maria at Guldfågeln Arena, Måns Linge received support for the 370 km long bike ride.
Since Kalmar FF stayed in the Allsvenskan, he had to keep his word and cycle in the April weather.
From the beginning it was thought that he would cycle to Degerfors, but the premiere was moved to Örebro.
"Must keep what you promise"
A genre rope of 80 km gave Måns a taste of what was to come, but despite that he did not seem significantly disappointed with the bike ride that awaits.
- I was set on Kalmar FF leaving then, but I am very happy to be here today and have to fulfill my promise.
Måns expects to cycle seven to eight hours a day for three days, and be there the day before the match on Sunday.
Will you make a similar promise again?
- No, I will probably be more careful with similar promises in the future, but it is important to keep what you promise.
That's why I'm here today.
