High entry fees. Over-commercialized races. A relentless sprint from start to finish thatโ€™s more about suffering than adventure.

Gravel riding used to be about freedom, not podiums. So in 2025, Iโ€™m skipping the races. No timing chips. No branded finish lines. Just raw, unfiltered exploration.

Read why Iโ€™m stepping away from gravel racing and choosing real adventure instead:
