Podcasts about Gravel

Fans of XCO World Cup racing might have been surprised to learn at the beginning of the year that Mārtiņš Blūms was headed for the Grand Prix. The Latvian rider has been a mainstay on the World Cup circuit for a decade, racking up podiums and even winning the 2017 overall as a U23. But as he tells Payson in this conversation, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for cross country riders these days, and he was ready to try something new. Last month, he had a standout race at Chequamegon, where he went in a solo breakaway from the start and only lost out on a shot at the win when he had a mechanical.In this conversation, Mārtiņš talks about his transition to gravel, why he's still been racing a handful of World Cups this season, and how his Grand Prix races have played out so far. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveenEmail: howdy@withpace.cc

Send us Fan MailIn episode #201 Kyla Channell talks with gravel racer Cecily Decker and breaks down how she's built a gravel-first racing career around endurance, fueling, and smart adaptation after major knee injuries. The conversation covers her transition from ski racing to cycling, the mental side of long efforts, and the nutrition protocol that now helps her perform at a much higher level. We discuss Cecily's race background, her approach to carbs, fluids, caffeine, and bicarbonate, plus the race-day routines she uses to stay consistent and competitive.Key topicsCecily shares her path from ski racing to cyclingHer off-road focus Her endurance mindsetHer mental cues in deep painHer nutrition evolution from granola bars to liquid caloriesTreating her gut like a performance toolStraightforward recovery strategiesPlease note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.ABOUT CECILY DECKERCecily Decker is a professional cyclist recognized for her versatility across endurance disciplines and her consistent presence at the front of elite gravel racing. Known for combining aerobic depth and resilience, she has built a reputation as a fierce and adaptable competitor in some of the sport's most demanding events. In her 2025 season, Cecily achieved a podium at Unbound and Leadville and 2nd place in the Lifetime Grand Prix Series. In 2026, she's hit the podium at Mid South and finished top 10 at the Sea Otter Classic.Beyond results, Cecily values a good adventure above almost anything.

5,000 metres of climbing. 120 kilometres. Steep gravel tracks, hidden roads and one very simple idea: how much climbing can you possibly pack into the shortest ride?This time, we head deep into Alta Badia to uncover the story behind YOLOmites 5000 — one of cycling's most unique and unofficial adventures.What started as a slightly crazy idea between Igor Tavella and Jered Gruber has become an annual pilgrimage for a small group of riders drawn to the same unlikely combination: brutal climbs, beautiful roads, good friends and absolutely no rush.The number 5,000 was chosen simply because it sounded good. The first calculation suggested it would take around 120 kilometres to reach it.Somehow, the idea stuck.In this episode, Igor and Jered take us back to the beginning of YOLOmites — from road bikes, rim brakes and 25mm tyres to modern gravel bikes, huge cassettes and mountain-bike gearing. They explain how the routes have evolved, why the ride remains deliberately small and invitation-only, and what makes the hidden roads of the Dolomites such an extraordinary playground for cycling.We talk about surviving 5,000 metres of climbing, pacing yourself, the infamous YOLO Mini, nutrition, weather, the ultimate YOLOmites bike setup, and what happens when the ride gets really, really hard.But YOLOmites was never meant to be a race. It's about riding slowly enough to stay together. Looking up from the handlebars. Discovering roads you might otherwise never find. Laughing when things get difficult. And discovering that sometimes the hardest days on a bike can also be the most rewarding. Because there's something about the Dolomites that makes the suffering worth it.Recorded shortly after the 10th edition in 2025.CHAPTERS00:00 – Intro02:58 – Random Round of Questions14:40 – What Exactly Is YOLOmites 5000?16:35 – The Crazy Idea That Started It All19:13 – Discovering the Hidden Roads of the Dolomites20:30 – Road Bikes, Rim Brakes & 25mm Tyres23:38 – How the Bikes Changed the Ride25:35 – Why People Keep Coming Back26:16 – What Makes the Dolomites So Special?29:31 – How to Survive 5,000 Metres of Climbing32:26 – Designing the Route: 120km, 5,000m & Counting34:51 – The YOLO Mini: The Escape Route36:34 – Food, Lunch Stops & Fueling the Ride40:37 – What Happens When the Ride Gets Really Hard?44:22 – Riding, Shooting & Surviving: A Photographer's Perspective48:02 – Why Riding Together Makes the Impossible Possible52:18 – Who Is YOLOmites Really For?53:17 – Why Is It Still Invitation-Only?58:15 – How Can You Get Into YOLOmites ?1:00:30 – The Ultimate Bike Setup1:05:31 – What to Wear in the Dolomites in September1:08:37 – Bags, Pockets & Carrying Everything You NeedLINKS⁠2026 Route⁠2025 Route⁠2025 Anniversary Video Recap⁠⁠Castelli Story and Gallery⁠⁠Pralongià Route⁠⁠Hotel Ustaria Posta ⁠CONNECT⁠Jered Gruber⁠⁠Igor Tavella⁠ Hosted on Acast.

Greg Tehven runs a $5.5 million nonprofit with 40 teammates in Fargo, North Dakota — and his advice to leaders is to stop working on problems they can solve alone.That instinct built Emerging Prairie into the heartbeat of a region's entrepreneurial ecosystem, launched Grand Farm, and turned TEDx Fargo into an event 1,000+ people build their year around. Guest co-host Stacy Huston, CEO of SixDegrees.org, brings Greg on to talk about what it actually takes.

Josh has often spoke of the people in cycling he most admires. Rob Gitelis is a name he mentions frequently. Rob is the head of Factor Bikes. Rob's company is coming up on its tenth anniversary. The rise to prominence has been quick. Barely a year after Rob took over Factor, its bikes were on the start line at the Tour De France. Factor bikes have been ridden to three stage victories at the Tour. Factor has also celebrated wins at the Tour Down Under and a Gold Medal on the Track at the 2024 Olympics.  Rob's credo is similar to Josh's: performance and quality first. If it costs a few bucks more to make the best, Rob -- like Josh -- can live with that. Nowhere in the Factor lineup is that more evident than the Factor One. The bike has been labeled the fastest in the world. A super aero machine that now has a partner in Factor's Gravel lineup: The Elara. These two bikes represent Rob's pursuit of high performance. The bike world has taken notice.

What makes a good garden path? Gravel? Grass? Pavers? Wood chips? Flagstone? And why does something that looks gorgeous in one garden become a maintenance nightmare in another?In this Barrel Aged One More Sip, Leslie and Marianne head down the garden path—quite literally—to talk about the materials they've used, loved, regretted and sworn never to use again.Marianne is preparing to replace nearly 100 feet of struggling turf path with gravel, which leads to a conversation about pea gravel, stone dust, stepping stones, wood-chip paths, flagstone, edging and even those beautiful slices of tree trunk that look wonderful...until they start rotting.We also talk about how wide a garden path should be, choosing a surface that works with the style and scale of your garden, dealing with snow, weeds and wheelbarrows—and why landscape fabric under a path is one mistake neither of us wants to make again.Because a path isn't just a way to get from one part of the garden to another. It changes how you move through the garden, how you see it—and how much work you'll be doing to maintain it.And yes, gravel wins quite a few points. Whether Marianne still loves hers after installing nearly 100 feet of it remains to be seen.The Garden Mixer with Leslie Harris and Marianne WillburnGardening shouldn't be boring.Hit the YouTube subscribe button so we can keep you smiling while you hit the mess (your garden) out there.The Garden Mixer Podcast https://episodes.fm/1561064602Full Show Notes bonus episodes at The Garden Mixer Podcast's Substackhttps://thegardenmixerpodcast.substack.com/Socials – Pick Your Platform:Follow us on Instagram @thegardenmixerhttps://www.instagram.com/thegardenmixer/Indulge us on TikTok @the.garden.mixer https://www.tiktok.com/@the.garden.mixerSpar with us on X @gardenmixerpodhttps://x.com/gardenmixerpod“French Bistro” theme by Adieu Adieu.

Mit einem 2. Platz bei SeaOtter Europe ist Paul zurück aus Girona und der Besenwagen Gravel steht wieder im Rheinland geparkt. Simon und Paul sprechen über den ersten Platz unter der Dusche, das deutschsprachige Breakaway, den Bedarf einer Fahrergewerkschaft im Gravelracing und welchen Anteil die 4 Zoll Differenz zum ersten Platz gemacht haben. Während in der europäischen Gravel-Hauptstadt also WM-Form demonstriert wurde, werfen wir einen Blick auf die guten deutschen Performances in den letzten Rennen und sprechen mit Bastian Marks darüber, warum Sponsoring und Marketing im Gravel anders funktioniert als im klassischen Straßenradsport.

On February 17, 2024, five experienced cyclists set out on a familiar gravel-bike route through Washington's Cascade foothills. Nineteen miles into their ride, two cougars appeared on the trail. Seconds later, 60-year-old Keri Bergere was on the ground with a cougar's jaws clamped around her face.Her four friends rushed toward the attack. Armed with little more than rocks, sticks, and the equipment they carried on their bicycles, they faced a predator that refused to let go. With unreliable cell service and another cougar somewhere in the surrounding forest, the women were running out of options.In this episode of The Crux: True Survival Stories, Kaycee and Julie reconstruct the terrifying encounter, examine the medical dangers of a cougar attack, and explore the survival decisions that followed.A true story of wilderness survival, extraordinary friendship, and a fight that lasted far longer than anyone could have imagined.Episode Chapters 00:00– Introduction00:28 – A Cougar Encounter in Washington01:54 – Meet the Five Cyclists03:23 – The Magic Carpet Gravel Route05:30 – Two Cougars Appear06:16 – The Fight to Save Keri11:19 – The Medical Dangers of a Cougar Attack13:35 – A Multitool and a Chance to Escape16:00 – Trapping the Cougar With a Bicycle19:12 – Calling 911 and Finding GPS Coordinates21:57 – Wildlife Officer Arrives24:07 – Keri's Injuries and Recovery26:17 – Why Did the Cougar Attack?27:36 – Cougar Safety and the Fatal 2018 Attack32:00 – Life After the Attack35:29 – Survival Lessons and ClosingDan Becker Podcast.

Featuring: Mike Levy, Josh Ross, Lisa Charlebois, and Logan Jones-Wilkins We answer your questions, debate the real-world value of aero bottle cages, and discuss why it makes sense to ride 500km for tacos. We've had some major topics on the show the last few weeks, so this week we are taking a step back a little and answering some questions. We read every comment, and Logan Jones-Wilkins, Lisa Charlebois, and I will often jump in to respond. Mike Levy also reads them, but he actually brings the comments to the show so we can answer them out loud, so to speak. Before we get to that, though, Levy starts with a question: Have you ever done a ride just for the sake of going somewhere dumb and unimportant? I've (Josh Ross) had this idea for years to ride from Los Angeles to the Mexican border for tacos, then back. It's a 500km ride, and there's no real point other than to ride a bike. Lael Wilcox once rode all the roads in Alaska for a similar reason. The whole crew is on this week, so we get to talk about our silly reasons for big rides. Let us know in the comments if you've ever done anything like that. Or, if you are like Logan and just ride for training, let us know that too. We also have some news to talk about. Mostly, it comes down to Logan and me (Josh Ross) trying to convince Lisa and Mike that aero matters. For Logan, it's all about aero gravel tires. He went very deep into the weeds in his article, and there's a good reason for that. Then it's my turn to talk about the Enve Melee V2 and why it features aero bar tape and aero bottle cages. I also have a question that I am hoping you can help me answer. To participate you'll have to jump to the [Velo website], but the question is: Would you choose a bike that is 1.6 watts more aero or a bike that is 1kg lighter? Give me the Factor One. I will gladly take a 1kg weight penalty to gain 1.6 watts of aero efficiency. Give me the Enve Melee. Saving 1kg is far more important to how I ride than 1.6 watts of aero efficiency. I am choosing the Enve Melee purely based on aesthetics. Regardless of the aero advantage, I would not pick the Factor One because of how it looks. I am choosing the Factor One. I want the 1.6 watts of free speed, and I actually prefer the aggressive aero styling over a traditional frame. The Velo Podcast wouldn't happen without subscribers.

This week, another show celebrating the shredded, gravelly, gritty, raspy pipes and throats of rock n' roll. We are focusing on lead singers who crafted truly special tones with their sandpapered delivery. Join us in celebrating these unique pipes that set them apart from the rest. Anyone can scream, but only a few deliver gravel, grit & glory!What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. Our appreciation this week of rough and textured singing extends to all of the genres that we love. Kevin never realized how much this style of vocalizing actually had an impact on him until putting this series together. As always, we hope we turn you onto something new!Songs this week include:1. Plasmatics – “Put Your Love In Me” from Coup De Grace (2002)2. U.D.O. – “Holy” from Metallized (2000)3. The Cruel Intentions – “Bad Addiction” from All Hail Hypocrisy (2026)4.

Send us Fan MailA $2,000 foldable iPhone sounds ridiculous until you realize people gladly finance tech for years without blinking and then do the same math on cars, watches, and everything else. We kick things off with that exact dilemma: do you buy the newest Apple foldable phone, or do you put your money toward something that actually changes how you live and ride? The debate gets personal fast, because the real topic is value and the stories we tell ourselves when we upgrade.Then we swing into cycling temptation with Specialized's Built For Legends Limited Collection, where scarcity is the point and craftsmanship is the pitch. Limited production runs, hand-applied details, and frames designed to look different in changing light are undeniably cool, but we ask the uncomfortable question: what are you really paying for, and what do you gain beyond performance? If you've ever stared at a five-figure bike in a shop and wondered who buys that, you'll feel seen.We also dig into cycling trends that hit everyday riders right now. Gravel keeps getting bigger and more competitive, and we talk about whether that growth has made it less fun for people who just want a relaxed ride. E-bikes get a real-world safety check too, especially kids riding fast without helmets, charging etiquette at events, and the bigger issues coming down the road as electric bikes become normal transportation. We close with bike industry chatter, listener spotlight fun, and a fresh set of clues for the next community.Subscribe so you don't miss the next ride, share this with a friend who loves gear debates, and leave a review with your take: what upgrade has actually improved your life?

In 2017, a mountain biking crash on Moab's Porcupine Rim left Skye Chaney with a spinal cord injury, seven broken ribs, and a fractured sternum. In this episode, Skye takes us from that first ride back on an adaptive mountain bike to the gravel roads of Central Oregon and beyond, tracing a path that's carried him through Whistler, Arizona, Jackson Hole, Whitefish, and his home trails in Bend. We talk about what it actually takes to dial in an adaptive setup for gravel-specific riding, how he made the jump from mountain biking to gravel, and the moment — mid-mechanical, mid-storm, or mid-nowhere — when a ride goes sideways and you have to problem-solve your way home.Skye is candid about cycling being a different way into the same things every rider chases — freedom, challenge, speed, dirt, grit, and a good day outside. For anyone standing at the edge of gravel riding, wondering if it's for them, Skye has a straightforward answer: just try. We close out talking about what's next on his list — new routes, new events, and the trails still calling his name.-------------------------------------------------This podcast is produced by Dirty Freehub, a nonprofit organization that publishes hand-curated (and great!) gravel cycling Ride Guides. Our mission is to connect gravel cyclists to where they ride through stories about culture, history, people, places, and lands with the hope that they will become involved as advocates, volunteers, or donors with organizations that protect and preserve recreation spaces.Our Podcast Channel  / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Connection ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our Ride Guides / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dirty Freehub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our Ask / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate⁠⁠

One month after giving birth to her daughter, Sarah Sturm is back in the studio with Payson to talk about what has changed and what has stayed the same in these past few transformational weeks. After a relatively smooth pregnancy and birth, she's already been able to ride again, and she's found that her relationship with the bike has been permanently altered. In this episode, Sarah discusses the day-to-day realities of raising an infant and how she sees her future in the sport, including her participation in the 2027 Life Time Grand Prix. She and Payson also talk about the future of the series now that the entry requirements have been overhauled. Has US gravel peaked? Where does UCI gravel fit in? And what can domestic gravel learn from the mountain biking scene of the ‘90s?Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveenEmail: howdy@withpace.cc

David Gravel made a rare, unforced error on Monday night at El Paso County, and it's suddenly brought Buddy Kofoid very much into play for the World of Outlaws title conversation as we head into the home stretch. That today, plus a High Limit team makes a driver change to try and save their season, and plenty more.

Vueltan överträffar alla förväntningar och vi sammanfattar tre veckor där eviga tvåor, trotjänare och de som så många gånger varit så nära äntligen fick skina! Från Bryan Coquard och Andreas Leknessund till Mikel Landa och Enric Mas. Dessutom spanar vi in några av namnen som kan bli nästa stora grej i klungan. Vi snackar också Gravel-SM, svenska mästare och den lite märkliga kontrasten mellan 152 anmälda till SM och betydligt större startfält på Vättern Gravel och SIA Glass Grusäventyr. Vi avrundar med lite uppsnack inför VM!

This week, Caley Fretz returns to Geek Warning alongside Jack Duncan and Dave Rome. It's been a week full of big new bike launches (all of which Escape Collective attended) and there has been some equally big industry news. The geeks discuss new bikes from Scott, Factor, and Enve, and how each finds (or doesn't) a balance between performance and enjoyment. Plus, there's a shift in product from WTB, some somewhat sad news out of an Australian business, and we speculate over why Specialized's founder has returned to the helm. As usual, members of Escape Collective have access to the exclusive member-only feeds of the podcast, and in this we answer a number of technical questions in the Ask a Wrench segment.Happy geeking! Time stamps: 00:02:00 - New bikes, new bikes everywhere 00:03:15 - Talking two different approaches to gravel with the Scott Addict Gravel and Factor Elara  00:16:30 - Adding the new Enve Melee to the conversation  00:20:00 - Feelings or performance. Can it be both?  00:29:00 - WTB doing aero wasn't on our bingo card 00:38:00 - Sad news from Fumpa  00:44:15 - Big changes at Specialized and a fun theory from a dude 01:02:00 - Members-only section and Ask a Wrench  01:05:00 - Our thoughts on running mismatched tyres 01:11:20 - “Critique my chain waxing” 01:12:15 - Gravel handlebar recommendations that keep the levers straight

Sauerland-Realität, Politt-Jubel & die Sprinter-Frage bei der Vuelta Der Besenwagen schaltet wieder durch alle Gänge! Zwischen lokaler Radsport-Härte im Sauerland und WorldTour-Dominanz in Spanien nehmen Basti, Paul und Andy das prall gefüllte Geschehen der Woche unter die Lupe.

This week on The Brick Session, Caroline and Mark get stuck into a lot.They start with the British Gravel Championships, looking at the event, the racing and, perhaps more importantly, the direction gravel racing in Britain is heading. With participation having grown to more than 1,000 riders in the 2025 edition, the move into the British Cycling structure raises plenty of questions about the future of the Championships. (britishgravelchampionships.com)Mark quickly chats about his latest mini adveture which was bike packing across Iceland.  If you're thinking about bike packing the Iceland Divide, this is a must listenThen they head across the Channel to the European Gravel Championships, where the women's elite race became a complete shit show. The elite women were sent out just five minutes behind the male age-group fields, meaning they quickly caught riders from the 65–74 category and other men's groups. What followed was traffic, overtaking, interference and, according to riders, an unacceptable racing environment. (Cyclingnews). A proper shit show. They also get into the two very different anti-doping cases involving Joe Skipper and Tomás Rodríguez Hernández.   Joe has received an 18-month ban following three whereabouts failures within 12 months, while Rodríguez's second case involves alleged tampering and participation while ineligible, completely different circumstances, but both raising questions about responsibility, professionalism and the anti-doping system. (International Testing Agency). Mark doesn't hold back on either athlete.Finally, we look at UTMB from the other side of the tape — what it's actually like to be part of the support crew, the logistics, the pressure, the waiting and the reality behind getting an athlete through one of the world's biggest ultra-running events.Gravel. Racing. Doping. Support crews. And a fair bit of opinion.

In this week's GCN Show, we dive into the data to find out if gravel cycling is truly a sport for the older generation or if the "young guns" are starting to take over. We compare gravel racing demographics to marathon running to see which sport offers more longevity and why endurance seems to peak later in life. Plus, we've got the latest in ultra-endurance world records, e-bike law controversies, and a roadside "zip-tie" chain fix that you won't want to miss!

Mit einem leichten Dröhnen im Kopf und schmerzenden Augen kehrt der Besenwagen Gravel von der Europameisterschaft in den Belgischen Ardennen zurück ins Ruhrgebiet. Pauls und Simons Rennen hätten unterschiedlicher nicht laufen können, steckten den beiden aber noch ein paar Tage in den Knochen. Viel wichtiger war jedoch das Rennen der Elite-Frauen, das leider aus den falschen Gründen für Aufmerksamkeit sorgte: die Startaufstellung direkt hinter den Männern der Ü70 Age-Group verhagelte vielen Teilnehmerinnen ein faires und sicheres Rennen. Darüber, über die Gewinner:innen der Besenwagen Gravel-Challenge, die neuesten Bike-Launches und alles was noch so im Gravel Zirkus passiert, reden Paul und Simon in der neuen Folge.

Wilde Vuelta-Tage, deutsche Top-Resultate & das Phänomen Jonas Abrahamsen! Seit dem Ausscheiden von Tadej Pogačar kennt die Vuelta a España kein Skript mehr.

Erst seit gut anderthalb Jahren auf dem Gravel- und Bikepacking-Rad unterwegs, fuhr die Münchnerin 2024 bereits ganz vorne bei Events wie dem Munich Milan Gravel oder der Pyreneika mit.Im Podcast spricht Maxi offen über ihren rasanten Einstieg in die Langstrecke, die KI-gestützte Vorbereitung auf das extrem anspruchsvolle Taurus Mountain Race und warum ein vernünftiges DNF (wie beim Bright Midnight wegen eines Infekts) am Ende viel wertvoller ist als falscher Ehrgeiz.Wir sprechen über den schmalen Grat zwischen Sekundenschlaf im Graben und gesunder Regeneration, das Experimentieren mit K-Lite, Aerobars und Bikefitting sowie das besondere Gefühl, als Frau in der Ultra-Community unterwegs zu sein.Viel Spaß!ShownotesMaxi auf Instagram https://www.instagram.com/curcumaxi/Quelle MusikTropic Fuse - French Fuse aus dem YT Creator Studio Quelle BilderMaxi Unger

Menudo programón el de esta semana. Nos sentamos al micro con Antonio Alix, la voz de Eurosport de toda la vida, leyenda del triatlón y el ciclismo de fondo español desde los años 80, para repasar cómo empezó todo esto: bicicletas, motos, cronometrar Morcuera él solito, entrar en Eurosport casi de casualidad y convertirse en la referencia que ha comentado Mundiales, Vueltas y Copas del Mundo durante tres décadas. Anécdotas, batallitas, polémicas del gremio y opiniones sin filtro sobre cómo ha cambiado el periodismo deportivo (y el ciclismo) desde que él empezó hasta hoy.Y con Alix todavía calentito el micrófono, nos metemos en las noticias de la semana, que han sido una locura. El Mundial de Mountain Bike en Val di Sole se llevó por delante a todo el mundo: Sina Frei arrasó en categoría élite femenina y se llevó su primer arcoíris, mientras que en categoría masculina Tom Pidcock firmó una remontada de escándalo desde la cuarta fila para colgarse su segundo título mundial de XCO. En short track, Laura Stigger y Adrien Boichis se llevaron el oro.Pero la noticia gorda de la semana ha sido en carretera: Tadej Pogačar se fue al suelo en la etapa 8 de la Vuelta a España y tuvo que abandonar la carrera por primera vez en su carrera como profesional, dejando el maillot rojo en manos de Enric Mas. Lo comentamos con pelos y señales, incluido ese pique previo entre Pogačar y Enric Mas en la bajada del Bartolo que se hizo viral.Cerramos noticias con el Campeonato de Europa de Gravel en Houffalize, con victorias para Mads Würtz Schmidt y Femke Markus, y unos cuantos debates sobre ruedas, marcas y por qué el gravel cada vez se parece más al mountain bike de toda la vida.Como siempre, síguenos en Instagram (@bici_lab), suscríbete en YouTube (@bicilab), visita bicilab.es y, si te gusta lo que hacemos, apúntate al Club BCLB para tener acceso a contenido extra y ayudarnos a seguir haciendo el podcast.

Hello everyone. Welcome to the latest episode of The Matchbox Podcast powered by Ignition Coach Co.

They discuss the value of road training, mountain bike skills, tire choice, course recon, pack dynamics, and why confidence and awareness often matter more than logging endless gravel miles.    Timestamps 0:01 — Intro and first listener question: do you need to train on gravel to race gravel well? 0:52 — Strengths, weaknesses, and why mountain bike skills transfer 1:49 — Riding your race bike matters, but not necessarily all the time 4:15 — Line choice, surface awareness, and avoiding crashes 5:40 — Tire tread and tire size can improve handling overnight 7:35 — Big tire changes can completely change bike feel and handling 9:56 — Power output differences between road and gravel 11:19 — Don't sacrifice all your training time just to ride gravel 12:42 — Watching gravel racing can help mentally prep for racing 15:03 — Second question: why is holding wheels harder in gravel? 17:02 — Rolling resistance, surging, and group dynamics in gravel 18:49 — Positioning depends partly on fitness relative to the group 23:15 — Trusting wheels, reading the road, and staying safe in packs 25:26 — Bigger tires and suspension can reduce flats and improve confidence 28:33 — How to get a group working together without creating tension 33:20 — Course recon and knowing pinch points before race day

In Shiftless episode 157(ish), recorded at Dusty Roads Bicycles, the hosts discuss unexpected cooler weather caused by smoke from a rapidly spreading Palo Pinto County grass fire and how extreme conditions have hurt riding motivation. They recap trends from the MADE show, especially the surge in 32-inch wheels, and debate frame materials and carbon durability, with Nico weighing in. They cover Lynskey's $795 titanium frame “fire sale,” and Dylan Johnson's two-year collaboration with Silca to launch new gravel and road tires featuring claimed radial construction, a carbon bead, accurate sizing, and models like Protocol RCG and RCR in specific size ranges. They touch on Gravel Worlds and Leadville results (including Lauren's third place and Justin's 14th), rumors of 13-speed GRX, new 32-inch wheels from Industry Nine and Berd, the return of NABs in Austin in 2027, Dallas trail-connection funding issues, and a brief Mena trip to Burl's Smokehouse.00:00 Cold Open Banter00:16 Episode Setup at Dusty Roads00:49 Smoke and Fire Weather02:34 Riding in Brutal Heat03:08 32 Inch Wheels Trend04:46 Lynskey Ti Fire Sale06:09 Frame Materials Debate07:43 Carbon Durability Reality Check09:40 Silca and Dylan Tires13:39 Gravel Worlds and Leadville Recap17:53 Silca Tire Lineup Explained31:42 Radial Tire Tech Homework34:35 When Silca Tires Hit Shops36:05 Industry Nine 32 Wheels38:37 Centerlock vs Six Bolt Rotors41:31 Berd 32 Wheels Approach43:25 GRX Goes 13 Speed45:37 32 Inch Gear Talk47:13 Scott Scale Gravel Debate48:15 Trainer Video Memories51:49 Race Pace Rabbit Hole54:02 MADE And NABS Return01:00:05 Mena Trails On Pause01:03:16 Big Bend And The Loop01:07:41 Dallas To Fort Worth Route01:12:25 Burls Smokehouse Quest01:15:03 Ham Sandwich Breakdown01:20:00 Wrap Up And Sign Off

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. ---------------------------------

Na de hagelbui wisten we dat de Vuelta echt begonnen was. Dan weet je ook dat Enric Mas uit zijn schulp kruipt. Hij wist een op het gravel vertrokken Pogacar nog voor de top bij te halen en bergpunten af te snoepen. Ook waarschuwde hij nog voor de gevaarlijke afdaling, maar dat bleek aan dovemansoren gericht. Mas moet alleen nog even bij Team Visma Lease a Bike in de leer voor zijn sprint! Jonne, Benja en Lidewey bespreken alles over de Vuelta.

Pauls zweiter Frühling, Tour de l'Avenir & der steinige Weg in die WorldTour mit Ole Theiler Der Besenwagen ist zurück im regulären Takt und hat eine prall gefüllte Kabine! Paul hat die Strapazen der Deutschland Tour überstanden und bringt nicht nur schwere Beine, sondern auch einen ganz besonderen Rückblick auf sein Comeback mit. Zudem blicken wir auf die Stars von morgen und widmen uns der harten Realität auf dem Weg in die WorldTour.

Das "Hard as Nails" Community Jersey hängt noch nicht mal an der Wand, da steigt Paul frisch von der Deutschland Tour wieder in den Besenwagen Gravel. Wir ziehen ein Resumé der Rundfahrt und sprechen darüber was angenehmer ist: Teambus-Lifestyle oder der Privateer-DIY-Spirit. Nach einem kurzen Ausflug in die Eifel, Spendenlinks und Routen findet ihr unten, dreht der Besenwagen Gravel eine Runde durch den Rennzirkus, bespricht Ziellinien-Fotos und gibt einen Ausblick auf die kommende Gravel EM in Houffalize, die Paul und Simon unter die Räder nehmen. Aus den Reifen- und Equipmentempfehlungen für die EM geht es direkt in die Technik-Ecke und wir besprechen neue Bikes, Reifen und bauen uns inspiriert von einer Zuhörer-Frage unser Traum-Gravelbike.
