🎥 Find the show and watch it on YouTube: GCN Show Ep. 613



The 2024 Gravel World Championships took some heat for being lacking enough “serious” gravel, but we’re here to break down why it was way tougher than you think—and why it matters!



Dan & Si also share news of what Mark Cavendish has in common with James Bond, which might not be immediately obvious. They also cover why Lachlan Morton is an even bigger legend than previously thought, and why the cycling utopia of the Netherlands is going to seem a little less idyllic if one politician gets their way…
