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. 😂🤣🤣🤣
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.
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!
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. 👌
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 😁
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 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.
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🙂
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~
Caught you on Cade Media and decided to check your channel out - really great content which I’m now binge watching…..
Thank you. Hopefully get back to regular uploads again soon. J
Well done Tony ..... great ride mate. Don't worry about finishing fourth ... the real reward is a few days away in Leuven with the lovely Alison.
It will be class.
Oooo, that's a good idea to shower with the HR strap on, def gonna copy that!
I don’t do it all the time. But knew it would dry fast in the heat. Keeps the smell down on the thing. 🤣😂

@@NowtDaftTonyFawcett we bailed the water out using cereal breakfast bowls. All good
Mint - loved this race. 40psi and still punctured! Also… made my day seeing ‘nowt daft’ painted on the road out in weardale today!
🤣😂🤣🤣
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.
Thanks for the kind words. It’s a beautiful area and the tracks were so good to ride. Went to Ae on Mountain bikes day after.
Not too shabby, Tony. 👍 Now it's safe to book those tickets for the family.
Ah Leuven should be class.
Congratulations 👊🏻 what an amazing day, the weather ☀️ you were parked a few vans down from us, I am defo giving it a go again next year 😁
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 👍
Yeah I think the tyre thing is a bit of luck on the day. Thanks for watching.
Great effort, congrats! you made sleeping in the back of van seem comfortable.
I slept so well. No need for these fancy campers. All you need is a flexi bucket and an ikea mattress
Well done Tony, that was one hell of a day. I spent the day in the wind, just kept getting spat out of the back of groups. Next up is Gritfest.
Tough day but such a good route and views. Thanks for watching. I think I will do Gravel Rocks.
Not able to do Gravel Rocks, the other half’s birthday that weekend
I'll be cheering you on from my hometown roads of Leuven! See you in October Tony! 💪
Ah class. Leuven is a beautiful area. I have rode before in the area so I am looking forward to it.
Top work as ever Tony.......just like the showers at Roubaix😂
😂🤣😂Perfectly modelled on them. Sadly no arty photo graphs were taken for Rouleur.
Nice work Tony
Thank you.
Congratulations Tony. Well done !! Too Daft , that . Rest , be well .
Thank you. Time to try and get into decent condition for Leuven.
Well done, fantastic achievement getting to world champs 👍
Should be fun.
Top, top ride Tony. Congratulations on the result and qualification. Looking forward to the Fawcett family outing worlds videos already.
It will be fun. Tye lovely Alison will be buzzing when she gets to Leuven.
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!
I love the heat. Such a great day. I have been Leuven before such a nice city.
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.
I think I might do the kings cup. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy Ruthin

Well done lad great effort to qualify for worlds, and not a pork pie in sight.
Hahaha no fuelled properly. Still didn’t drink enough as I thought I didn’t have much left in hydration pack. Finished had half of my drink left.
Fantastic Tony, was up in Gatehouse last year, stunning area.
It is such a nice place and when you get the weather nowhere better.
Congrats Tony 💪
Thank you.

You the man!
🤣😂thank you.
Great Video Tony, awesome ride...

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??
I am going to race some XC mountain bikes and might try and head to Majorca again.
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?

Despite my legs going towards the end, it was great fun and hope to be back next year
It is such a well ran event and the course is tough.

I ran 42 mm at 35psi. Tyres wise I ran pathfinders sworks.
Great result Tony well done what tyres were you using for the event? Top content as usual.
Thanks for watching. I was using erm pathfinders 42 mm just over 30psi.
Brilliant result Tony ! Hope you dont mind me asking what was your NP for the ride and what you do you weigh in KG?
Don’t mind at all.
260w NP and I am around the 64kg. TSS was 274
@@NowtDaftTonyFawcett cheers pal !!
Just a bike ride with a rucksac on round a forest.
I know nothing special, I sometimes do it on a Friday or Monday.🤣
@@NowtDaftTonyFawcett oh,

Good man looks great , however the shower scene was quite scary …
You should see the outtakes 😂
Thought u got a parking ticket haha
Hahha so did I.

Hello, Sadly I can’t check the US stock. However I have a few contacts that work in US will see if I can get any updates.
@@NowtDaftTonyFawcett Awesome, NOW DAFT!
Also, I saw your Scott Foil RC on Francis Cade's video! ABSOLUTE DREAM BIKE~
Tony, you going to put any more race footage on like you did when you did Dirty Reiver?
I wiped the lens with what looks like a gel wrapper so not much of it is good but I can put it up if you want.
If your going to take this gravel stuff seriously then the tash needs to return 😎
Tell the lovely Alison!
Hi tony it is fynn are you racing the cross cxne
Hey Flynn, yes I will be. You ok.
Yes you
Hi Tony, where has Geoff gone ? Don’t you cycle together these days
Hello. I was out with Geoff today. He has had an injury that meant some time off the bike. He is all fixed now.
Class weekend and cracking riding mate glad one of us could do a decent effort 🤘🏼
