  • A lot of this sentiment…

    Gravel ‘racing’ is for failed road racers.

    My my. Are world tour domestiques failed road racers now? LTD completed 10 TDFs and ~20 GTs! Should they retire quietly to their bungalows or take punditry/commentary roles so we can slam their banter and wardrobe?

    I don’t think gravel racing is going away. Mostly because there are bikes to sell, whereas cross-specific race bikes and track bikes always had a limited market.

  • Okay I’ll put it another way - people who can still be at the sharp end of WT races wouldn’t bother racing against idiot amateur grav-bros.

  • Prediction: big money gets thrown at MVDP, WVA and Sir Pidders to ride the next generation of Canyon, Cervelo and Pinarello gravel bikes at a big event in the next three years. Would be epic. Can’t flipping wait! If you can’t see that you’re blind.
