What does it take to get to the Paralympics? What does it take to win a medal? 

Those are the questions we hope to answer over the next couple of years in our Road to LA28 series with British Paralympian Ben Watson.

In the first of the episodes, we catch up with Ben and delve into where he is at 2 ½ years before LA28! Answering questions like:

Where is Ben at after the recent World Cup races?

What’s he doing riding Unbound and how is he preparing for the unofficial gravel worlds and the longest race he has ever ridden?

What’s is Ben doing to optimise his movement and position on the bike 

What’s the process of qualifying for the Paralympics?

What has Ben learned over the last few months of training and racing? 

How does Ben balance training and focus with having fun?
