I just wonder if, as it seems he isn't on top form, whether he is any more able to cope than some of the other contestants.
If he is as susceptible to pressure as the others, it certainly starts to look a more open field of runners and riders in this race, and not the foregone conclusion so many think it is.”

For crying out loud, is that the given reason/excuse for his stress that could have led to his illness?
Missing his family? Lee hasn't lived at home for years. He is originally from Southend-on-Sea, Essex, and that is where his family still live but he has lived in Brockley, south-east London, for years.
