  • This pod is great at 1.5x lol

    Thank you both for being out there returning the favor and cheering us on.

    I agree more pros should make the effort to get out there if this is the future of gravel races.

    Someone else had the idea to hold podiums at the same time as amateur podiums

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gravel Nationals Recap With Winner Cobe Freeburn - GRVL UNDRDGS
Q: Are you a big pre-ride person, and how did course familiarity affect your approach?
Cobe indicated he wasn't a heavy pre-ride person, preferring to rely on general course knowledge and adaptive racing rather than detailed pre-ride planning, which influenced his pacing and positioning choices during the event.
Gravel Nationals Recap With Winner Cobe Freeburn - GRVL UNDRDGS
Q: What was your strategy going into the race with Daxson and the Trek Driftless team?
The team planned to initiate the first breakaway, cover potential moves, and then try to lift a teammate up the road after the second climb, aiming to consolidate advantage before decisive climbs.
US Gravel Nationals Preview - GRVL UNDRDGS | Episode 29
Q: My biggest advice would be like, what is the biggest slash most important things you learned from going from decent cyclist to pro?
The hosts emphasize building a solid foundation: eat well, train consistently, ride in a pack to develop race skills, and hire a coach or systematically train with a plan to improve, plus have side projects that make you stand out to sponsors.
Gravel Worlds Recap - GRVL UNDRDGS | Episode 27
Q: What should riders do if a train blocks the course?
The panel discussed that trains can reset time gaps, and the race can neutralize the gaps, allowing riders to rejoin the main group after the train passes; the exact handling depends on official guidance, but the concept is to preserve fairness while ensuring safety.
Michigan Coast to Coast & Lutsen 99er Recaps - GRVL UNDRDGS | Episode 20
Q: What was your overall strategy for Coast to Coast's bottle-less, long-distance sections and how did aero gear influence your pace?
The strategy relied on staying in a large group for the first 100 miles, then attacking at key points like aid stations to thin the field. Aero gear and power output were balanced with practicality, using aero bars for comfort and efficiency, while also managing hydration and nutrition to avoid stomach issues.
