Congrats on both your last 2 races! Especially 5th at Bolton! Always love your videos! Funniest part was your rant about tires after your flat the day before the race! Classic!! 😂😂!!

Great video which sums up race day perfectly! I raced aswell and had some of the exact same problems - Feeling sick throughout, stuff flying off the bike, stuck in congestion and walking that first hill! All worth it in the end. Well done on a great race 🙂

Some great footage there, definitely don’t miss that hill on the run, doing that on the full four times was a nightmare 😂
