 It's so rare that anyone captures the true raw emotion experienced when a rider scores their first world level podium, let alone at home and with a rider not in the group that automatically expect to be there. You've conveyed a whole journey here in a few minutes and with no words. Amazing work, hats off to you and massive congrats to Reece!

 This video genuinely puts a smile on my face from ear to ear. First Scot to EVER step on a World Cup podium (Ruairidh Cunningham's win was at World Champs). Such pride to see the Saltire flying high, even more so at Fort William. Well done Reece, You are the pride of an entire nation! May this amazing performance carry on for the rest of your career!

 Stu Thomson podiumed in 2003 - Reece is the first Scottish Elite rider to podium at Fort Bill Smile
  • 2 0
 @E9G: Cheers for the correction man! From what i had read it seemed like he was the first ever, however the first in 15 years and first at Fort Bill is still a hell of an achievement!!
  • 1 0
 @DH-BK: Yeah the announcer at Ft Bill said first ever, but I've seen from elsewhere online that Stu Thomson managed it too. Cracking result tho!
  • 3 0
 @E9G: I just had a dig through his results, Apparently he got 4th in 2003 and Grouse Mountain in Canada. Unsure if they had 5-man podiums back in the day!
  • 2 0
 @DH-BK: Ah that's a good point actually! Not sure myself really, but Stu did say 'welcome to the club' to Reece in a post on fb... ????
  • 5 0
 @E9G: They did. Stu actually finished 5th, then was upgraded to 4th after Houseman (the original winner) got DQ'd on a doping charge for smoking POT. Whatever, this was a sick ride by Reece and a mint wee edit by Max that shows what racing is all about!

 Spent almost as much time people watching him in the hotseat on sunday as I did the racing. His expressions were a picture, you could have made an edit of just that. Great day, great weather, great crowd, great ride by the lad. Class effort

 It was awesome. The atmosphere was amazing, just seeing him sitting there smiling in P1, watching rider after rider come down and not beat his time was so good. Taking nothing away from Amaurys win, as it was a great winning run, the local boy did his home turf immensely proud indeed.Loved it, and I'm English ffs!

 Is he true privateer? When’s the last time a privateer got a podium without weather wrecking the track for the top qualifiers? Amazing.
