On the APC Rally rides I’m sweeping the course so I’m always riding with the slowest riders in the group. The faster guys have gone because they’re using a GPS and there are no cornermen.
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is helping struggling riders with a few tips. On our rides I can spend two, three or four days with these riders, so the improvements can sometimes be up to 40 per cent. I watch them from behind and then I’ll just sit them under a tree and ask if they want to go faster. Since we have 2000km and four days, we have time to work some stuff out.
