 well the obvious one is "can i have your bike since you can just get another one whenever for free?"

then there are the "normal" ones like "who were your inspirations as a child that catapulted you into the world of mountain biking?"

and the annoying i-should-buy-some-magnesium-levers-for-my-brakes-to-save-12-grams kids ones like, "when should i run my minion dhf 3c, in loamy or wet/muddy conditions in off camber root sections or vice versa?"

and the interesting ones like "do you still get to hang out with provided hot chicks at events even though youre not sponsored by monster/rockstar like sam/cam?"

and then theres the ones that all the pro wannabes who will never have the resources/natural athletic ability/ luck to ever become pro will ask, like "how did you become pro" (very thoughtful eh)and dull expected questions like such

the only one i would want to ask is "what will you do after your career is over(hopefully not soon) that will supply you with enough money to live comfortably since pro DHing isnt exactly a fountain of money?"

 Peaty's house is pretty nice actually. A big house isn't something everybody wants. Id sure as hell rather have a cosy nice house like his than an oversized mansion that has too many rooms for me to use.

And just to clarify - Peaty sold Royal to Triple 7 for a sum between £2m-£6m; Triple 7 also own 661 which is their main 'In Shop' name and the one they concentrate most on.

Companies this big dont buy in the hundred thousands, they buy in millions and tens of millions.
