Pogačar is making this Vuelta look very difficult for everyone else. Stage 6 takes the race 177.5km from Alcossebre to Castelló, with a punchy route that builds towards a brutal finale, including a gravel section with gradients reaching 20%. And, once again, the red jersey decides he wants to race it like a one-day Classic. With UAE driving the pace and the break beginning to disappear, Pogačar launches his attack on the final climb and quickly opens a gap over the rest of the GC contenders. He hits the gravel alone and starts pulling away, but Enric Mas refuses to let him disappear. The Spaniard produces a huge chase and eventually makes contact with Pogačar near the top. The two then work together over the final kilometres, with Mas putting himself in position to move into second overall. But there is a heart-in-mouth moment on the descent as Pogačar runs off the road after misjudging a corner, coming to a complete stop before getting back on his bike and rejoining Mas. Pogačar still has enough left to beat him in the final sprint and claim his third stage victory in just six days.  We get into Pogačar's attack, Mas' brilliant fightback, the chaos of the gravel and that near-crash on the descent, before looking at what another victory means for the GC race. Ned Boulting and Pete Kennaugh break down Stage 6 of the Vuelta a España. ---------------------------------

Der Besenwagen Gravel parkt tief im Sommerloch zwischen Tiroler Bergluft und Düsseldorfer Asphalt-Hitze. Während Paul in Österreich die dünne Höhenluft genießt, die Lust am Essen verliert und Simon aktuell nur an der Seitenlinie ins Schwitzen kommt, nimmt der internationale Rennkalender von Tschechien bis Südafrika wieder richtig Fahrt auf. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über das erste Mal: Wie wählt man das perfekte Debüt-Rennen aus, was sollte man vorher gemacht haben und worauf kommt es im Rennen an? Dazu haben wir hochkarätigen Besuch an Bord: Hans Becking, zweifacher niederländischer Cross-Country-Meister und Cape-Epic-Etappensieger, wechselt die Seiten und übernimmt die Regie als neuer Renndirektor der legendären „The Traka“-Serie. Wir sprechen mit ihm über den Spagat zwischen gnadenlosem Profi-Kurs und Gravel-Party für die breite Masse, den Blick hinter die Kulissen der Event-Orga und fragen, wohin sich das „Gravel-Coachella“ in den nächsten Jahren entwickelt und wie viel Bierchen Paul ausgeben muss, damit der letzte Downhill aus der Strecke genommen wird. Anschnallen bitte, der Besenwagen Gravel rollt geschmeidig auf Schwalbe-Reifen!

In 1974, Mike Sinyard sold his Volkswagen van to go and buy bike components in Italy. Fifty years later, Specialized is one of the most iconic brands in world cycling — and at seventy-seven, he still rides.He welcomed me to the Morgan Hill headquarters in California, in the room they built for Peter Sagan. What was meant to be an interview about the bike industry became the most personal episode I've ever recorded.Because Mike has ADHD. Diagnosed late, like so many people. Fourteen years ago, he read the story of a kid who told his doctor: "Riding is my Ritalin." He called the doctor, learned that no pharmaceutical company would ever fund the research, and decided to fund it himself. Today, fifty thousand kids go through his OutRide foundation every year.We also talked about the Stumpjumper, born without a single piece of market research; about Robert Egger walking into a bike shop and saying "that's shit, I could do better"; about the Chinese brands and his answer to them — "it's nothing new"; about DJI's Avinox, gravel, artificial intelligence, women's racing, and his conviction that we'll soon look back at how we medicate our children the way we now look back at people smoking.⏱️ Chapters:00:00 — Introduction02:22 — Can a bike really change a life?04:09 — "Riding is my Ritalin": how OutRide began07:43 — Seventy-seven years old, and still no retirement10:31 — Finding a successor, and the soul of Specialized13:45 — Robert Egger, the Stumpjumper and the roots of the brand18:01 — Chinese brands: where does a brand's value lie?24:09 — E-bikes, Avinox and depending on a single supplier27:17 — The future of cycling, and kids on e-bikes30:28 — Racing, riders, and the price of caring37:54 — Gravel, heir to the touring bike — and riding in Asia43:03 — Artificial intelligence and cycling45:54 — What he still wants to accomplish47:04 — "We are over-medicating our children"49:48 — ADHD as a superpower50:43 — Starting over today, and Specialized in fifty years54:57 — The guest he'd like to hear, and the Green Room01:01:16 — What we can wish him01:02:55 — Closing words

Eines DER Themen überhaupt ist weiterhin Gravel – und inzwischen hat sich die Trend-Kategorie ziemlich fein ausdifferenziert. Besonders im Fokus steht aktuell die Gravel Race-Disziplin, die auch bei den internationalen Rennen immer populärer wird. Entsprechend groß ist mittlerweile das Angebot an richtig schnellen Gravel Race-Bikes, die mit Abenteuer-Boliden, Bike Packing und Co. abgesehen vom Drop Bar und der Stollenbereifung nicht mehr wahnsinnig viel gemein haben. Mitunter ist die Schnittmenge zu XC-Bikes sogar größer und die gegenseitigen Einflüsse sind kaum von der Hand zu weisen.  In der heutigen Episode nehmen wir euch also mit und geben euch einen ausführlichen Einblick in unseren Gravel Race-Vergleichstest, der aktuell auf unserer Partner-Plattform Rennrad-News.de läuft. Getestet haben wir dort sieben extrem spannende Gravel Race-Bikes, die leistungs- wie preistechnisch definitiv in der Champions League zu Hause sind. Harry aus der Rennrad-News-Redaktion bespricht mit gemeinsam mit Moritz den Aufbau des Gravel-Race-Tests und gemeinsam geben wir einen ersten Vorgeschmack, welche Räder uns möglicherweise ganz besonders begeistert haben …

Amateurs talk tactics. Professionals talk logistics. My co-host Matt brought that line home from the Marine Corps, and after five days of racing gravel at the Oregon Trail Gravel Grinder, it's the truest thing we can tell you about stage racing. In Part 1, we get into the boring stuff that actually wins the week: the post-ride system that saves you from standing in a one-hose line with 500 other riders, packing your whole life into a Home Depot tote (RIP pillows), the nightly debrief that should've been its own episode, and "fravel," the fake gravel that no GPX file will ever warn you about.

Au Bike Café, nous défendons depuis longtemps le gravel tourné vers l'aventure, la découverte et la liberté. Avec l'arrivée des championnats UCI, des Gravel Earth Series, de challenges nationaux comme le Wish One Gravel Tour que nous soutenons et maintenant de nouveaux formats comme les Gravel Crit Series, nous observons l'essor d'une nouvelle culture “race” autour du gravel. (Photo Henri Deroche.)Pour évoquer ce dernier type de course inspiré des Crit en fixie, j'ai contacté Hugo Foulon son co-fondateur avec Nicolas Reboud, Nicolas Julien, Quentin Kurboucau. Cet article sera l'occasion de confronter ces deux visions, sans les opposer de manière caricaturale. Lorsqu'on entend les mots Gravel Crit Series, on a presque l'impression d'un oxymore : d'un côté le critérium, explosif, péri-urbain, spectaculaire ; de l'autre le gravel, qui évoque les chemins, l'aventure et le temps long. Comment ces deux univers se sont-ils rencontrés dans la tête d'Hugo et de ses associés ?Voir le site des Gravel Crit Series https://gravelcritseries.nrilabs.eu/Hébergé par Ausha.

Send us Fan MailA course can look “runnable” and still scare you a little. That's exactly why Beast of Big Creek is so intriguing, and why I brought back Mercedes Siegle-Gaither for a tight, honest pre-race chat. She'd just been on the route previewing and training, and her take is vivid: long stretches of shady forest on smooth trail, a relentless uphill grind, then a shift above treeline into steeper, rockier skyrunning terrain with wildflowers and big mountain energy on the Olympic Peninsula near Hoodsport.We also get real about the not-so-glam side of endurance sports: coming back from injury. Mercedes talks through finishing an earlier 100-miler while likely dealing with a pulled hamstring, the months-long recovery, and the mental whiplash of seeing old running segments and choosing to let them go for now. Add altitude back into the picture and the body gets humbled fast, but the mindset stays steady: stay calm, keep stacking work, and trust the rebuild.Gravel biking becomes the hero of the summer. We dig into why gravel cycling is such a smart cross-training tool for trail runners and ultrarunners, plus the practical fears that come with it, from cars to learning clipless pedals (including the classic slow-speed flop). We also touch on how fast Beast could be, what out-and-back passing might feel like on a narrow descent off Mount Ellinor, and what races she's lining up next as fitness returns.If you're into trail running, skyrunning, race previews, injury recovery, altitude training, and the Pacific Northwest mountain scene, this one will light you up.

Paul und Simon stecken die beiden Rennwochenenden in Winterberg und am Nürburgring noch in den Knochen. Was nach Après-Ski und Motorsport klingt, war ein Gravel Etappenrennen und die Deutsche Meisterschaft Gravel. Während Paul am Nürburgring mit seinem Sechszylinder-Boxer aufs Podium der DM fährt, muss Simons Dreizylinder mit drohendem Motorschaden fast den Abschleppwagen rufen. Schon im Höhenlager in Kühtai atmet Paul jetzt endlich dünne Bergluft und keinen Staub mehr und Simon's Beine haben sich nach einem Ausflug in den Padel-Court auch wieder erholt. Die beiden sprechen über die mitreißende Atmosphäre an der Nordschleife, ihre Reifenwahl, gegenseitigen Respekt im Rennen und die Gravel DM 2027.

If you were racing with Matt Wilson last year, it was pretty clear that he was one of the strongest in the bunch, but through mechanicals and various other extenuating circumstances, he never managed to translate his talents into a top finish. This year, the Kiwi rider is out to prove what he can do. First, he snagged third at New Zealand Road Nats and second at XC Nats. Then, he earned one of the wild card spots in the Grand Prix at Unbound. Six days later, he lined up at Tulsa Tough, the biggest crit race in the U.S., and won it on his Unbound bike. Since then, he's been on a cross-country road trip, hitting up seemingly every race along the way.  Payson sat down with Matt in Durango to discuss his breakout season, jam-packed schedule, and the injury that has forced him to take a much needed break. They also talk about his friendship with fellow Kiwi and training buddy Cam Jones, and his history racing U23 on the XC World Cup circuit.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveenEmail: howdy@withpace.cc

Dr. Gary Parker is one of the defining figures in modern river mechanics and sediment transport. He's a professor emeritus at the University of Illinois or Urbana Champlain where he's been since 2005.  Before that he was a distinguished professor at the University of Minnesota. He's a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American Geophysical Union and has won more scientific awards than I can count - in multiple disciplines - that could each be thought of as a career-defining honor. You do not have to dig very deep into many of the topics we talk about in this podcast before you encounter his work. His early research on channel form, meander mechanics, and dynamic armoring may each represent Kuhnian paradigm shifts in those sub-disciplines. But part of the evidence of his influence is that I don't think there's another name that has come up more often in these conversations as I've talked to subject matter experts about how they understand rivers. When I first got interested in sediment transport I found Dr. Parker's Morphodynamics website:Before Universitas started making their materials publicly available (shoot, before there was much on the internet) Dr. Parker put the notes and code from his Morphodynamics class up on a website.  I spent hours pouring over them. Then years before the ASC 110 manual of practice was published, he posted his chapter on gravel bed rivers on that same website, which may be the single most influential document in my career. Christopher Lee, who played Saruman in the Lord of the Rings films, used to talk about how much he wanted to be in those films because he read the books through every year. That was me with Dr. Parker's chapter for at least a decade. I sat down and read that chapter every year to try to contextualize the new mysteries I'd encountered in these systems since the last time I picked it up. Later, as I started my graduate work, it became clear that you simply could not get up to speed on modern Morphodynamics and sediment transport without doing business with Gary's literature.Dr Parker also has an unusual facility to translate complex river mechanics principles into fun, vivid, metaphor…and if you have followed my teaching at all, you might suspect that this is one of my favorite flavors of science communication.So, I am obviously delighted to wrap up this season of the RSM River Mechanics podcast talking gravel bed rivers with Dr. Gary Parker.This series was funded by the Regional Sediment Management (RSM) program.Mike Loretto edited the first three seasons and created the theme music.Tessa Hall is editing most of Season 4.Stanford Gibson (HEC Sediment Specialist) hosts.Video shorts and other bonus content are available at the podcast website:https://www.hec.usace.army.mil/confluence/rasdocs/rastraining/latest/the-rsm-river-mechanics-podcast...but most of the supplementary videos are available on the HEC Sediment YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/stanfordgibsonIf you have guest recommendations or feedback you can reach out to me on LinkedIn or ResearchGate or fill out this recommendation and feedback form: https://forms.gle/wWJLVSEYe7S8Cd248

The Colesburg Back 40 began in 1993 as a training race for the then 10=year-old mountain bike race: The Chequamegon 40. But as can happen with a beautiful, fun, challenging and well run event... it's stuck around for the past 33 years! Today we talk with current race directors Sunny Carithers and Michael Lambert about what makes the race fun and unique as well as what brings them joy in seeing so many people experience the beauty of the Northeast Iowa Driftless Region. Join them by registering or volunteering at www.colesburgback40.com or look them up on facebook or instagram. Information on the Colesburg Back 40, the Driftless 100 and just about every other event in Iowa can be found at www.bikeiowa.com.

Nino Schurter hardly needs an introduction. Widely considered the greatest XCO mountain bike racer of all time, he's won 10 World Championships, nine World Cup overalls, and Olympic bronze, silver, and gold medals. Having retired from World Cup racing at the end of last year, he's been dipping a toe into gravel racing in 2026. In this conversation, Nino talks to Payson about his longevity in the sport and his undefeated 2017 season. He also dives into how his passion for product development and testing led to some of the most transformative innovations in the sport, and shares his perspective on gravel racing as a relative newcomer.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveenEmail: howdy@withpace.cc

Peter Gibbs and the Gardeners' Question Time panel visit Diss, on the Norfolk–Suffolk border, where heavy clay soils meet some of the driest conditions in the country; a combination that keeps gardeners firmly on their toes.Peter is joined by Bob Flowerdew on his home turf, alongside Christine Walkden and Bunny Guinness as they answer questions from a live audience. They advise on improving your strike rate with cuttings, diagnosing sooty mould on camellias, and deciding whether a bay tree is best kept in a pot, or given room to roam.Along the way, the panel also explore how to turn a tired lawn into a stylish, drought‑resistant gravel garden, debate whether lavender really needs feeding, and suggest small spring‑flowering trees that can deliver a real seasonal show.Later in the show, Bob shares hard‑won lessons from gardening in East Anglia, offering practical tips on coping with drought and making the most of every drop of water.Producer: Matt Smith

We dive into the controversial Scott prototype at Unbound, argue over what makes the perfect gravel bike, and reveal the top picks from our new Road Bike Buyer's Guide. Last week Josh missed the pod, but this week it's Logan Jones-Wilkins' turn. He is currently on the ground in Emporia, Kansas for Unbound 2026, but his Starlink connection failed. That leaves host Mike Levy, Lisa Charlebois, and Josh Ross to hold down the fort. Without Logan to set the record straight, the crew dives into the newly released Specialized Crux. Things quickly get heated as Charlebois and Ross defend nimble gravel bikes with 40mm tires, while Levy argues we all need slacker front ends and suspension. Plus, Levy shares his newfound love for the Garmin 1040 Solar, which leads to a shocking confession from Lisa about how she listens to music on ultra-rides. We also analyze the massive 32-inch wheels Cam Jones and Robin Gemperle are racing on their Scott prototypes at Unbound, and finally, Josh breaks down his testing methodology and top picks for the 2026 Road Bike Buyer's Guide. In This Episode: 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:13 a mini review of the Garmin 1040 Solar   00:09:53 Music and headphones on the ride 00:14:20 Unbound and Cam Jones riding a 32-inch bike 00:22:34 Reader questions  00:29:14 Road bike buyers guide 00:45:26 Specialized Crux initial discussion
