"Growing up, I did the odd cycling trip as part of a family holiday. I was more interested in swimming as an athletic endeavour. However, after commuting to work by bike in 2012 and developing my interest from there. I did my first road race in 2014 and started to take it more seriously"
I'm just saying it's suspicious when someone who doesn't ride a bike at all, has obvious access to funds for "training aids", isn't already doing another sport at a high level, or any level it seems, starts winning national level road races in 12 months.
