Peter Stetina was over the moon after he won the men’s Leadboat Challenge after finishing fifth in Leadville Trail 100 MTB and third in SBT GRVL this weekend. 

The prize for his incredible efforts over the 250 miles of weekend off-road racing were a fetching, if slightly baggy, denim waistcoat and the honour of wining the inaugural Leadboat award.
