A few on here have raced Dowsett, not least because he did Fixie Skidder Track League at Lee Valley every week a few years ago. I even raced him, despite being in a lower ranked race than him, as in the last race of the season we did a Maryland Crawl for allcomers. I still tell my kids about how I raced him ever time he comes on telly. Delighted for him.

Make sure they think you beat him.

He came to the Brass Monkey Rollapaluza in Blackfriars Road. With Tao, who wasn't a pro rider then, that makes him one of two pro riders to have attended forum events, too. (I'm sure I've forgotten others, but I'm not counting the pros who did other, non-forum Rollapaluzas.)
I think we can therefore declare him our good mate A and claim all the credit for his win.
Living vicariously? Someone's got to do it.

He seems like a genuinely nice bloke. I mostly wanted Holmes to win so I could say ‘I’ve raced with his dad’. I should have more chances. Forgot he’d won that TDU stage this year.
