Dougie Lampkin

Trials riding is one of the most underrated tests of nerve in motorsport, and Lampkin is the man who first made me appreciate it. Seven outdoor world titles and a spot as the second most successful trials rider in history is staggering, especially in a discipline decided by millimetres of balance rather than raw speed. An MBE in 2001 and FIM Legend status in 2012 only confirm the obsession behind the results. I have endless respect for athletes who master something this quietly insane, picking a bike up cliffs without ever touching a foot down. Pure controlled madness, and I love it.
