Thanks for the insight. A shame for him. I'm sure "bad luck" is a common theme amongst pro bike riders, but he has documented it more than others so perhaps it seems more pronounced in his case. The few people I know who tried to make it through the U23/European team ranks seem to have had similar rollercoasters. Perhaps something to do with running your body into the ground while at the same time being constantly exposed to the elements and lots of travel/people

What happened to Dowsett at the TT nationals? Unfortunate series of events, or a looming omen ahead of his hour attempt?
