Nice to see the view from the front of the race Tony and Davie making a guest appearance. My first gravel race and qualified so made up with that. 30 psi in 40mm Schwalbes and got lucky! See you in Belgium 👍
Great result! Not used to that heat, living in Scotland. Cramping was a bit of an issue in the old man’s race starting later. Never mind - got the Q result, now going FKW to Leuven!
That was a great result - and good tyre choice. These are my local tracks and it is a joy to watch riders at the very top of their game. Come and ride Raiders Gravel - you could win it. Amazing to have you here in Galloway.
Superb well done. 47mm Teravail tyres tubeless for me at 30 psi rear and 28 front. No punctures for me and the wife on the same set up. We were camped in front of you and returned to a very flooded tent. That rain was crazy. Great route great event and so many smilling and chatty people. Brilliant weekend
Oh that is not good hopefully it didn’t cause too much sleep issues. Should have given me a shout, always good to talk to people who watch the videos. Still get a massive ego boost when people recognize me. 😂🤣🤣🤣
Great job. This was my first gravel race and I was in yours. Not at the spicy end for a number of reasons (started at the back, cramp wibble I know ;)). I leaned so much and will be back next year. Targeting Ruthin or The Kings Cup later this year.
Well in Lad... 4th is not to be sniffed at and sounds like a fair few punctures and mechanicals again, so if you dodged that your winning. Look forward to the Gravel Worlds Video. 👌
Ah thanks mate I was so worried I had used all my gels. However I thought I had drank loads but turns out my hydration pack was still half full at end. What a whopper. Still new this gravel thing and having to eat and drink so much. 😂 thanks again and thanks for watching.
So grateful for the shower cam haha, well done Tony! I feel this is turning into a series of you going to events you said you'd never do again :D what's next??
Nice one Tony. Great result 👏 It would of been very interesting if that deluge came mid race 🫣 I’m about same height and weight as yourself Tony, what tyres/ width were riding, sorry if this has been asked already couldn’t see it in the comments. Didn’t think it was as mental as last year for some reason, still seen some casualties in bushes on the descents🙂
Nice riding Tony. Did think at one point you was going to catch me and Rob towards the end when we were being a bit cagey with each other. Belgium should be good. You thought about doing Raiders Gravel stage race beginning of Sept?
Hey up, I was shocked to get back to you but was t shocked when you rode away again. 😂 that big Noweign guy was stupid strong. I started coming across with him but he was making stupid risks on descents and thought he is going to puncture. Well done great ride. Not sure what other gravel races I will do as work tends to be busy in summer and it is hard to get the training in to be competitive with you fast lads. I think i will do gravel rocks. Thanks for watching.
I felt awesome all day thinking you hadn't passed me even though I had my "Nowt Daft" primed and ready to scream in your direction only to find out you finished over an hour before me 🤣 Well done on the qualification looking forward to that episode 😁
Hey, Tony I'm reaching out to you since I'm having little luck trying to get an answer from Scott USA here. I ordered the Syncros Capital SL last year back in October. The shop that ordered it said it would come in by July 2024 but that timeline has changed from what i understand. I know you work for the European market but is there any chance you can check on when the US shipments will arrive this year? Hope you see this message~
