Masters ITT Nationals 2024 -π₯.
Congratulations to John McKinnon on a superb ride achieving another podium, this time 3rd. A super result, missing out on 2nd by 2.5 sec - super close!!
But wait there is more to the story...
John rolls up at the start gate, 2 min to go and realises his front tyre has gone flat. Being a tubular John thought bu**er it let's get some air into it and hope for the best. So after a frantic few moments John gets back to the start gate with 30sec to go and one of the officials request him to go back through scrutineering as he had left the start area.π€ After a few hectic moments John is allowed to start on time and squeezes the most out of the bike riding the last 8km back on the saddle to stop the rim from touching the ground over the bumps. Fair play John and ride of the day I say and yes I'm biased.ππ
