Having been I can see some people’s points above. Always impressed by him so we were looking forwards to it. He’s one of my favs on the DH circuit, age, experience and as said above a gent. Clearly not a public speaker but a good effort. Points that came home to us: left school at 14 to become a full time cyclist (how does anyone else ever catch up?!), hard as nails or when he has his competition head on, he feels no pain – coming in top five at a WC with an off and finishing with compound fracture, (again cycling mortals would be in an ambulance!), lots of support from others, family remortgaging house, friends and contacts helping out, how he rode unsuitable and often too small bikes bloody quickly (Can’t ride better bikes half that speed) and last and not least his involvement in bike development. And a ps, no sign of him slowing down, pulling out etc.. talking so enthusiastically about future tweaks to bike and keeping fit to be up there in the top five!
