Podium Finish at the Mega

The second annual Mega Dumyat took place last week on a wet thursday evening. As you know, “Dob” became “MegaDob” in 2008 after he took gold in the inaugural elite race. This year, he called in at home at 10pm after the finish, face covered in mud, still steaming with sweat, and his bottom lip curled down. The poor lad had been defeated. Commenting on the race, MegaDob said:
"I was first down the mountain as I had expected. It was on the road leading to mine woods where my legs failed me. First it was Steven who passed [fierce competitor and 4th place finisher in 2008], and then former racer, Stewart. I just couldn't keep up".

MegaD would normally go straight to the pub after his ride, so why the pit stop chez Stanley House? To collect the trophy for handover to the new champion. MD added:

"It hurts to come third, but I am chuffed for Steven. He's worked really hard for this all year and it couldn't have happened to a nicer DB."
When fans shouted on the bronze medal winner to ask whether he would still retain his “MegaDob” title, he finished:

“You kidding? Once a MegaDob, always a MegaDob”.
