OF all the medals won by Scottish athletes at last summer’s Commonwealth Games, one of the most surprising, to outsiders at least, was Finn Crockett’s bronze in the men’s road race.
Recent years have not seen this country produce any truly world class road racers and so Crockett’s third place in Birmingham, beating the likes of Tour de France winner, Geraint Thomas, came as something of a surprise to many.
However, for Crockett, it was a result that he believed had been brewing for quite some time, and he is confident he’s going to use his podium spot at Birmingham 2022 to catapult him onto bigger and better things in 2023.
