“Seeing the calendar dry up this year, honestly, was depressing. Inevitable, but still. The hardest thing was seeing our riders training but not being able to race. Keeping that motivation going was hard, to keep fit, to keep training, because you didn’t know if racing would start in a week or in a month. We’ve lost a lot of brilliant historical racing here in the UK over the last twenty years, and the Lincoln is the one race that remains which has that history. This is one that’s survived and it’s important to keep that going. It’s become iconic. It’s the most important historic race on the British calendar.”
