So, without further ado, Mr. Simon Payton.

All right, so welcome to the second episode of the Hookett podcast number 002.

And today on the show we have Mr. Simon Patton. um sigh is a long time friend of mine as well to

be honest with you but i'm going to let sigh to his own introduction because the guy is possibly

one of the busiest guys in mountain biking and has many job roles so sigh welcome to the show

you know you said you're one of my friends, Dave.

Yeah. My surname's Peyton, not Patton. All right. Okay, Simon, Peyton. Welcome to the show. There we go, mate. It's an easy mistake to make, so don't worry about it. And you know what? In fact, I don't even like being called Cy. My name's Simon, but... Oh really? Everyone calls me Si and I actually have no...

Well, the only reason why I think they call me Si is because of the number plate on my van.

Is that right?

I think so, yeah. Because no one ever used to call me,

Si.

Is it just me that's always called you Sai?

No, everyone, every mountain bike calls me sigh.

All my other friends, old other friends, which haven't got many of.

They don't call me sigh, they call me Simon, but there you go.
