Hayden McCormick is also a pro, but Conti level. I think there is a real possibility that other pro teams will start entering these events, spurred on by bike manufacturers foray into the gravel/'adventure' market. What is niche now, i suspect will become increasingly common over the next few years.
There is presently a novelty about WT pro obliterating the field, but if a few other WT pros enter the whole scene will change dramatically
I imagine the endurance racing scene will have mixed feelings about this?
To what degree can anyone with great fitness turn up and be competitive an endurance event though?
Not having completed anything epic myself, I always assumed mental strength is as much part of the challenge - could any pro really pick up and do something as relentless and unsupported?
