The 37-year-old veteran chose to pedal the 350km distance instead of flying or driving, which would take him three days. Bottas, a known cyclist, is expected to arrive in Singapore in time for the practice sessions starting Friday. His partner, Australian professional road and gravel cyclist Tiffany Cromwell, has also shared a video of their training around palm oil plantations and the Sepang coast on Instagram.",
