Comments on the clue
1.Yes. I like this – it reads well and is nicely misleading.
2.Excellent surface.
3.Almost very good – let down by the linking words like several other clues
4.Very pleasing clue.
5.My favourite clue though he probably would have still won gold!
6.In the context of the surface "first lane" requires a hyphen, while "gunmetal" isn't really a bronze.
