What’s your favourite race?
Any time trial is good for me, but I really love Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Britain. I like the unpredictability of Roubaix, but the whole ‘feels like home aspect’ of the Tour of Britain makes it a nice race.
What’s your favourite climb?
They’re all bad! I used to spend a lot of time in Majorca and there’s a climb from Pollença up to Lluc. It’s always in the sun which is good. It’s a pretty constant gradient which is nice and you can take in the views as you go up.
Who is the best domestique in the peloton?
