Often called the nicest man in ultra racing, Justinas Leveika still had a plan to conquer the 2024 Tour Divide and improve on his second-place finish in 2023. And considering he’s currently in the lead, I’d say he’s doing a good job at it. Tailfin had him visit their HQ in Bristol to finalize the tweaks to his setup before he flew to the US for the race. Naturally, during his visit, Tailfin took the opportunity to ride the local trails with him and gain insights into his current setup and thoughts on the Tour Divide. Watch it below, and scroll down for more details on his bike.
