Fun fact: At 34 years old, Greg Minnaar was the oldest rider to race at Fort William and he went on to win it. Experience is priceless.

Wait so Peaty hasn't started for 6 years?

EDIT: OH, I get it, you mean this year. Was going to say - Peaty has raced it at 38-39 no?

Anyone now what Minnaar was was talking about when he mentioned being able to follow his training in the audio for the 3rd photo? I heard questa.com, but I couldn't find anything on google.

Greg. A beast. Martin Maes - unreal...seemed the track was significantly slower for the juniors. For him to put in a top 20ish time in rougher conditions WITH a crash?!? Wow.

The weather dried slowly as the afternoon progressed. The puddles had gone by the time they were midway through Elite men

someone added a line under MINNAAR's name! Careful or the UCI will ban you as well!
