Stotty raising eyebrows


Local rider and ladies man, Justin Stott has been a force to be reckoned with recently in the Otago racing scene. After storming to victory ahead of returning star, Lozz Holding and young prospect, Patrick 'Who drank all Geoff's beers?' Jones on the infamous Sam's circuit, he had only 2 weeks to recover for a 'world famous' Wingatui circuit that all riders dream of one day winning. Stott had a great battle with Paul 'D. Trump' Goughy but took the win comfortably with a sprint Cavendish would be proud of, crossing the line at a brisk 98kmh.

This recent form has raised eyebrows within managerial circles as the silly season of team changes starts to get into full swing. It is rumoured that he has been in talks with several big teams including french outfit, Francaise des Jeux, newly formed Garmin-Cervelo and Team Kumho to name a few.

We at the unofficial otago cycling web page have been keen to find what makes Stott tick and what he has been up to on his training rides to bring on such a wave of domination at local races. Below is the interview conducted:

Hi Justin, congratulations on your recent string of victories!
Hi... thanks... Why aren't you wearing any pants?

Sorry Justin, but I'm the one doing the interviewing here so how bout I do my job and you do yours... How many K's a week having you been knocking up?
Uhm.. uh i havent really been training much just doing what i can around work, you know.

Any specific drills?
Nah just riding really....

Any little secrets you can let us in on that's given you such good form recently?
Look, I've got a lot to do so I'm gona have to leave

Come on Justin, let us in on a few!
LOOK! I have never failed a drug test so you've got nothing!!! Ok!!

No, sorry justin, i meant-

Mate, I don't care for you media stirring trouble! All my urine samples have been clean so until one comes up negative just leave me alone!

The interview ended there and Stott left hastily through the crowd and back into the van with his team Doctor, Chris Harvey.
