Is Liam Moynihan the fastest Scottsman who rides for Scott Sports? Likely. The Fort William local has been building and blasting berms for a while now, and he could teach master classes on how to rail a rut.
I met Moynihan at the EWS Trophy of Nations race last fall, where I conjured all the magic I could muster to chase him down the dusty tracks of Finale Ligure. He suffered a rear puncture at the beginning of stage two, and I suffered from too much time slumped over a keyboard. In the end, we both enjoyed a bang-up time riding bikes all day.
Moynihan’s not only a wicked rippin’ professional gravity racer, he’s also a dad. Hence his nickname, “Papa Moyn.” His family piles into a large cozy van to take in the European Alps through the summer, while he and his wife ride and race. He’s got some great tales of van life, but that’s for another interview. For now we’ll focus on training in Scotland and his outlook for the coming season.
