Edinburgh Rider Sean Flynn

The Guardian quotes Edinburgh-born Picnic Post NL rider Sean Flynn who reflected on the 2027 Grand Départ in his home city.

‘I never thought I could have more motivation to ride in the Tour, but now that’s my long-term goal.

You see the impact it has everywhere the Tour goes. You saw it in Yorkshire a few years back, so it will be really special.

It will give such a boost to cycling in Scotland and it gives me a lot of motivation to be there, to be part of that’.
