Who is this person of somewhat dubious behavior?

He is a bit off the mainstream, based on this thread Using Lightweights for commuting.

He is a militant 30 bannanas a day type vegan moron from South Australia who uses "shock jock" style tactics to basically piss everyone he can off and generate youtube click bait. He is the special kind of stupid who goes out and buys a Specialized Turbo assisted bike, smashes a heap of KOMs on it before ragging it out. Then refuses to remove the rides because "anyone that has a KOM is on the juice because they're faster than me".

Almost like clockwork I see him in the BR comments section going on about buying 8 stages for the price of a SRM. Also mentioned training with Froome.... Maybe Froome is too polite to call him a cunt?

The guy is a parasite, the less we mention him the better.

Back on topic, almost have to admire Pat Shaw running his mouth in the peleton. A bit of Aussie charm.

Of course, I generalized... I should have said "my country" instead of the whole post soviet cycling sphere. Still, as I said, it has been and still is easily available and the company even run commercials on local TV and radio a while ago.

Quite funny to see how they react when the bikes are heavier then they thought.

I know Durainrider is not everyones cup of tea but he rides and runs to a very high standard. The fact LRP does not have the mental strength to act civil is not Durainriders fault . I would love to have the chance to ride /climb with the pros
Its happened a few times when I have been abroad but you don't get many pros in South Tottenham.
I think Durain is Ok and I think perhaps most of the name calling is more about jealousy . You don't have to look at his you tube site .
I think hoping any rider ends up hitting a wall is pretty low perhaps you need to eat a few more bananas
Riding with Froome on a real bike .
