The sibs stayed in the top tier of racers for virtually the entire length of the opening round, even establishing an early solo lead until a wait for a train to Interlaken equalized the lead four teams. Though the cheese task was difficult for this team as with all others, physicality helped the pair stay within seconds of leg winners Margie and Luke.
The team chemistry between the sibs was largely positive for leg one with Victor staying largely as the supportive brother. With Tammy wanting to get out from under her brother's shadow though, future conflicts can't be ruled out.
It's also unclear whether Victor's attempt at lowroad race tactics will actually help the duo on subsequent legs. His attempt to sow doubt about the reliability of a train to Interlaken didn't fool anyone else and put the sibs square in the sights of Mel and Mike. Overall though, Tammy & Victor's showing was an impressive one that seems designed to show they can compete as long-term TAR14 contenders.
