Stage 1 Update

As Ewan after a mix-up was the last to leave this morning at 05:46 am out of 235 bikes and 25 quads, he has made remarkable progress by the end of the first stage finishing today at position 141/260.

However after gearbox issues today his mechanical team are having to change the engine on the bike overnight with the spare one they carry in the support truck.

He will start tomorrow on Stage 2 at 07:08 am and an update of this will be given tomorrow night.

Preparation:

Ewan has been working with his personal trainer Robert Davis at his gym in East Kilbride, Glasgow close to his home.

 He has been concentrating on increasing his stamina and has never been better prepared for any forthcoming event.
