Manon LloydHOST
I think she's got maybe...
Manon LloydHOST
the Gravel World Championships left in Australia, but this was like her last, yeah, Road World Championships.
Manon LloydHOST
And she's another rider that's had an incredible career as well.
Manon LloydHOST
And I got to meet her a few times and make a few videos with her.
Matilda ReynoldsHOST
I wish I could be there this weekend, but I'm going to be on my way to Perth, Nanup for the race of the year.
Matilda ReynoldsHOST
And we have one of the main characters, Contenders, here for Gravel Worlds.
Matilda ReynoldsHOST
Marco, mate, we hear you are hooking.
Matilda ReynoldsHOST
Give us a little taster of your training day last Wednesday, starting with the monument around Melbourne.

Mark O'BrienHOST
But I could be wrong.
Mark O'BrienHOST
And also the cool thing is that you could go do the Fondo Worlds there, Hollywood.
Mark O'BrienHOST
There's the Gravel Worlds, Fondo Worlds, it's all together.
Mark O'BrienHOST
You could even do CX, oh, not CX, but you could do mountain bike while you're there or BMX.
Anne-Marije RookHOST
Not at all.
Anne-Marije RookHOST
And she's going to end her career at the UCI Gravel World Championships in Australia.
Anne-Marije RookHOST
So she's not quite done with racing, but she's done with racing on the road.
Anne-Marije RookHOST
Similarly, Spratty, Amanda Sprat from Australia.
Isabel KingHOST
I only did two races this year.
Isabel KingHOST
And I don't know, I think on one side, If we're sitting here a year ago and we have a few weeks old baby, like if you say like you're going to do Unbound and it's going to be insane and you're going to be nine months postpartum and then you're going to follow it up with doing Gravel Worlds and, you know, you're...
Isabel KingHOST
I'm gonna race and Joe's gonna run and I think that like in itself actually does look pretty good um but I think initially my thoughts when I was pregnant was like you're back like by March you're back um you're racing Mid-South and then you're going to Seattle and doing all these things and I think both of us had kind of had to have a conversation where it was like Okay, like things are a little different.
Isabel KingHOST
Obviously, like I didn't plan or want to have a C-section, but that was the way that it worked.
19 MINS LATER
JoeHOST
Yeah.
Isabel KingHOST
Cause I think it was fun.
Isabel KingHOST
I think my reason originally was, I did the Gravel Worlds double, I guess it's two years ago now.
Isabel KingHOST
At the time then, it was a Friday 25K run and then a Saturday 150 miles.
Daniel FriebeHOST
And maybe that's reason enough why you should always be loyal to the, in inverted commas, flag if you are called to represent your country.
Lionel BirnieHOST
Yeah, I mean, Tim Wellens did ride the Gravel World Championships last autumn, didn't ride the World Road Race Championships.
Lionel BirnieHOST
2024, he did ride the Road Worlds, didn't finish in Switzerland.
Lionel BirnieHOST
So, I mean, he hasn't been a fixture in the Belgian team over the last five, six years, since COVID, anyway.
Grace WashburnHOST
so at these races, a lot of the times they give out t-shirts and a lot of the times people wear their shirts.
Grace WashburnHOST
So like at Louth Gravel Worlds, they actually gave us like a really nice Comfort Colors t-shirt.
Grace WashburnHOST
And like, I honestly wear it all the time because I got a size large.
Grace WashburnHOST
Like I love the brand Comfort Colors.
Grace WashburnHOST
They're such good quality.
Grace WashburnHOST
And so I'm like, okay, Louth Gravel Worlds, they gave us a Comfort Colors t-shirt.
Grace WashburnHOST
Gravel Nationals they gave us nothing and you could pay to buy merch that said USA Cycling and I'm like after $300 you're gonna make us buy t-shirts and hats and hoodies and I'm like y'all are out of your damn mind I'm like this is what's wrong with cycling is that you guys just like pick everything off I don't
Danni ShrosbreeHOST
even I was so pissed well it's the amount of people that have been like Dani you're not going to gravel world championships I'm like I have to buy a 200 euro or pound GB skin suit I have to pay my own way to Australia which the flight alone is two and a half grand I then have to find someone out there to do my feed zones I have to pay for my own accommodation that is five grand at least and And GB won't support it at all.
Dave MabelHOST
You've done Unbound.
Dave MabelHOST
I see you're wearing a Gravel Worlds shirt, all kinds of great stuff.
Dave MabelHOST
And I want to talk to you about your experience tandeming because my wife and I tandem.
Dave MabelHOST
And I want to encourage other people to give it a try.
16 MINS LATER
Dave KonshakGUEST
So we were looking for all the big events and which ones had tandem categories and
Dave MabelHOST
from Barry Roubaix to big sugar to unbound to the dam to, you know, you
Dave KonshakGUEST
name it gravel worlds.
Dave KonshakGUEST
Yeah.
Simon RichardsonHOST
Anyway, from road racing to gravel racing now, and a new concept multi-stage event took place in Scotland last week.
Dan LloydHOST
Yes, this was organized by Graham Pearce, who I actually met on the start line of last year's Gravel World Championships.
Simon RichardsonHOST
At the back, presumably.
Dan LloydHOST
Yes, at the start line because neither of us could be bothered to spend three hours out at the front to get a good spot.
Dan LloydHOST
At the Hoekse Pail yesterday, there was a reduced bunch sprint finish, and it was Max Cantor of XTS Astana who took the win there.
Dan LloydHOST
Second was Fritz Biesterbos, who got his contract with Picnic PostNL last year after taking a surprise silver medal at the UCI World Gravel Championships.
Dan LloydHOST
Seems he can sprint too.
Dan LloydHOST
There were two other sprints in Northern Europe through the week.
Ruth HolcombHOST
It's such a good race today.
Ruth HolcombHOST
I'm excited to see how Gravel Worlds goes.
Ruth HolcombHOST
Clearly, you're on great form.
