No idea.
I came up against him a few times back when I was racing, he had the oddest/unorthodox lines (he was 'safe', but the lines were so odd, he was actually a little tricky to pass
(that and obviously the boy was holding a pretty good pace anyway, but the combination of the two made him a b-steward to get past!)), but as you can see by that laptime, frigging amazing how he was doing those sort of times with
one arm ... I just can't see how he did it ... he must have taken ALL his weight on the tank (ouch!!
) otherwise with weight just on one arm, the bike would steer.
Honestly, as a benchmark, people need to go to brands and see what lap times they are doing to get some level of appreciation of just how much 'comitnment' it takes to get under 52s as an able-bodied person, let along like that!! .... seriously, it is one thing to ride a bike with one arm/leg ... but must be quite another to race one at a reasonable lick!!
