Elliot Smales has dominated 70.3 racing in the UK this year, winning 70.3 Staffordshire, 70.3 Dun Laoghaire in Dublin (beating American Superstar Andy Potts) , and 70.3 Weymouth, and finishing a solid 4th in Edinburgh. We talk about his background, his success this year, and his experience racing at the World 70.3 Championships. He’s also refreshingly honest about his mindset to racing - we think you’ll be amazed to hear how even a triple 70.3 winning pro suffers from the same self doubt that we all experience!

Elliot is sponsored by REAP bikes, HED wheels, HUUB wetsuits and Rotor powermeters (distributed by velotech. )
