Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Gordo.
I'm sure I am not alone in saying he is a great inspiration. Watching the movie 24Solo is what convinced me to have a crack at a 24, and is probably the reason I'm no longer a metric tonne overweight and eating my way to an early grave.
The sleep depravation from sleeping in the back of my car may have played a role, but the joke from the startline of DW100 2010 about Gordo beating Lance Armstrong in a Balls competition 3-1 is still the best bike joke I've ever heard
