      He is a national treasure to us bikers over here in the UK.
      If you are a non biker though you'll find most Brits don't know who he is! Bike racing is one of those sports here that isn't followed as much as others.
      You must have global champions from the US that people in the UK know better than someone in the US I'm guessing?
