Alex Dowsett hour record attempt.

[SWSteve]

Israel Start Up Nation are only contracted to ride Factor bikes in 2020. Say they are looking at options for a long term partner.

well Dowsett staying at ISN.

Considering his complaints about lack of tech support whilst at Movistar (being on an old pinarello bolide) despite winning a Giro TT, let’s see if this Factor is as good as he wants it to be.

Just in case anyone is getting baffled by Adam and I ...
Chris Froome .. born and raised in Kenya ... schooled in Kenya and South Africa, rode at international level ... but not for GB, until recently.
Dan Martin, born and raised in England .. Birmingham .. ? re-invented himself as Irish .... ??
He's about as Irish as I am English ...

Believe me I was never baffled...only the relevance of their nationalities.

@Adam4868 my children are Irish (wife was born in Galway), so my 16yo has his nationals in Ireland. As a result he couldn't take part this year.

They where born in Northern Ireland and can claim an Irish Passport ... but like myself their British, whether they like it or not ... Dan was born in England ... he's English .... again ...whether he likes it or not ..... He can identify as Irish ..... but he's English ........ He can identify as Daniella .... but he's still Dan ...
Anyway up .....
Back to our Alex .... He's english you know ........
