    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 👍

    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

      @NowtDaftTonyFawcett  7 місяців тому +1

      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.

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~
