Made up for him, he always seems like such a nice chap. Typically humble and honest post-race interview and it definitely means more when someone you've seen out and about on your home roads in such glamorous situations as having a comfort break in that layby off the A1060 near Margaret Roding wins on the WorldTour stage. I can't help but think that he would have had more wins if he hadn't ridden for the disorganised shitshow that is Movistar for so long.
My Dowsett-related claim to fame is that years ago a bunch of us did the Witham Wanderer audax and overtook him. He'd been motor pacing and the scooter had run out of petrol, so he was riding one handed while helping to push it along. As he was overtaken by rather a lot of audaxers he just turned around and said "Well, this is embarrassing" :)
He then flew past us later going up North Hill in Little Baddow so he got his revenge...
