390 Matt Bottrill - The Story of Sub7

When Kristian Blummenfelt became the first person to go Sub 7 hours for the Ironman distance, UK time trial legend Matt Bottrill was his road captain on the bike crew that piloted him. We catch up with Matt to hear the full story of the Sub7 campaign, his experiences at the event, and his opinion of the performances of Kat Matthews, Joe Skipper and Nicola Spirig.
