The young Brit on Roubaix, mtb, and eating eight eggs for breakfast.

Jacob Hennessey

What rating between one and 10 would you give your last race?

Last race in Majorca I’d rate as a nine because I had two days that were perfect sunshine and I didn’t crash.

If you could win one race what would it be?

Paris-Roubaix. It was the first bike race I’d ever watched. I saw Nikki Terpstra win in 2014 and it was the first time I’d seen someone come across the line crying, all covered in mud.

He won solo, would that be your tactic?

Oh no, I’d hope it finishes in a bunch kick!

What’s the best bit of advice anyone has ever given you?
