After a 14-year hiatus from competitive road racing, former pro Dan Lloyd finally pins on a number again for round four of the Castle Combe Summer Series. Supported by his "Super Nerd" domestiques—Si, Ollie, and Alex—Dan attempts to navigate the fast and furious 3km motor circuit to see if he’s still got the legs for a win. Watch to see if the GCN team’s master plan comes together or if 14 years out of the saddle is just too long.

What a performance from the team! 🚴♂️ Dan hasn’t raced on the road since his retirement in 2012—how do you think he handled the heat of the local crit? Should we "persuade" him to do another one, or is once every 14 years enough? Let us know in the comments!
