None of this is possible without them. And also than...

Dive into the exclusive behind-the-scenes journey of my triumph at the Lincoln Grand Prix. Our aim was to capture the essence of a storied race such as lincoln. Despite the uncertainty that came with a lengthy hiatus from racing, the presence of my family, sponsors, and a dedicated film crew turned into an unexpected victory. This marks the beginning of a series, and your support is invaluable....

    New fan of your channel! Great stuff Matthew. Honestly why aren’t you riding WT or PCT level any longer? You’re great at this.

    I was there last year to support my daughter at the 70.3 World Champs - we loved it so much, great landscape, facilities and people!

    What presure did you run, how did the tires work for you and how do you see the tire width choice in retrospect? Don't worry, I'm not an undercover Dylan Johnson account... ;D

    Love this gravel feature! Couldn’t you make a retrospective? Ie about your career so far, time with Lotto Soudal, fondest memories and anecdotes? Would’ve been fun to hear!

    A good effort! I was moving road signs at the Quernmore junction all day. It was a glorious day to be stood outside for 8 hours though! Those OGT bars look interesting. I'd have given them ago but sadly they're not suitable for my diet. :( Good idea though.

      Do it! It was mega on the gravel. The geometry is totally different to my Madone so make sure you pick the right size frame

    Unreal effort! Bolero sleeves were the difference after all ;-) Would be great to get a breakdown of your bike set-up, chain-ring/cassette size etc. What size Madone did you go for by the way? Cheers!
