Princey, aka: “The Mechanic”

Called The Mechanic due to Princey’s unique approach to monitoring the backwheel and running gear while sitting in the draft waiting to make his move.

His Idea of training is watching a cycling DVD. Prefers to be called a fat sprinter than a climber, Suffer saviour allergies to hills, Bread & Cheese (Cheese for Sphincter Turbo).
