Inspirational!
Saw a couple of interviews with him last night. He described his accident as a "ticket to the Paralympics". Very fitting that his success
should come at a motor racing circuit.
Just noticed the time he did to win. Under 25mins for 16km (10miles) would be a respectable time for a club level cyclist on flat course on a bike.
To do those times on Brands' with it's hills, on a handcycle is amazing!
I have a friend who was a madalist in british cycling champinships before being paralysed from the waist down. He tried hand cycling and found it
incredibly hard.
Chapeau, Zinadi!

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
