After Lachlan Mortons win at the biggest gravel race of the yesr, Unbound, a listener wants to know some of the skills he can learn from the champion. Sarah and Anthony chat about how the gravel scene has changed so much in the last few years and discuss if the "Spirit" of gravel is well and truly dead.
Other listeners have questions around mindset, sportive etiquette and the rise of darker and darker cycling kit.

Lachlan is definitely the spirit of gravel. He wore what he wanted in spite of what people thought, he drank beer the night before, He rode the Continental Divide for fun and stages of the TDF in freakin sandals. He didn't have any teammates like Keegan or Moric. He had a coach, but told the coach what he wanted to do. Quit racing road because it sucks and basically is a dirtbag biker just cruising around. He went the wrong way. And he still beat everybody. That's gravel. Experimenting with what works best for you is gravel. He wanted to try an aero helmet? It's no different than trying a snickers bar at mile 90. It's the lack of rules that is gravel, not making people conform to what you think gravel should be. Saying he can't wear aero socks and an aero helmet is the opposite of the spirit. If he wants to ride a huffy with unicorns on it and a clown wig, that's gravel. If the point is to go slow by wearing and using the slowest gear possible like some people want to do, then the spirit of gravel is no different than to just sit in the parking lot and talk about what it would be like to actually go somewhere. Complainers are just jealous he had the balls to try stuff first. It's just choices. He didn't try harder than others, he just didn't stick to the status quo, which is literally what gravel is about.

Gravel - and Unbound, was epic. So happy for Lachy.

Lachlan drinking beer before the podium was pure gravel. Keegan would have made it a better race had he not crashed. He was ahead of Dylan Johnson who was in the mix for spots 3-13 (finished 10th) and Dylan caught Keegan with Matt Beers after the crash.

Hi guys! Love the podcast. Regarding fluorescent gear, there is a study from Flinders University, commented on others channels (GCN), that found out that “Safety vests and helmets make cyclists look ‘less human’ to other road users”..

@HazzyWazzey 25 дней назад

Lachlan is a lot of talk. He was smashing out 30 hour weeks on the run up to Unbound. Hardly the ‘just going with the flow and just doing what I love/not following high performance’ attitude he likes to promote. Lots of people chat a lot of shit, to present themselves in a way that they want you to see them.

@MichaelBoogerd 25 дней назад

i liked what he said in DJ's interview at the end... he (Lachlan) didn't have good legs... but Lachy interrupted and said "yeah, but the difference is, mine just stay that bad... not getting worse... for the whole race" - - you don't get that kind of aerobic engine by just messing around on the beach in sandals.. obviously.

@scotbenton 25 дней назад

I smash 30 hour weeks - I’m 64 and I don’t even race - I do it for fun/exploration/adventure - I see a lot of cool stuff out riding - I meet cool people - seems like Lachlan just likes riding his bike a lot same as me - for once he put me n the aero kit - like everyone else - an eruption of shit talking commences-

Here’s an idea for a future edition: with all the data and anecdotal information about riders upping their carbohydrate intake to over 90 grams per hour, I tried to follow this precept on my longer rides, albeit at much lower consumption given my FTP and age (low and old). That said, I am also getting a lot of advice about insulin resistance and the possibility of developing Type 2 diabetes from stressing my insulin response. There are multiple MD’s online who say that any carbohydrate intake in excess of 75 grams per day is a serious precursor of future problems. I would love to hear a debate between these two dissonant attitudes towards carb consumption.

@GummeeH3 25 дней назад

JP: you don't need any of the stuff that they've been going over for the last 9min. In the beginning, wear what you're comfortable with. IF you decide to race AND you're at the pointy end vying for wins, then do what the pros do. I still wear mtn shoes, but there seems to be a trend for road pedals and shoes. You'll want to run lower pressures than you ever thought. There are a couple pressure calculators that work well, but you'll still need to experiment HTH

Been hit with bright lights and colourful kit. if a driver doesn't want to register you they wont. It might help a little....but it isn't an absolute.

The man won Tour Divide… needed rest. Had to back off the efforts and be ready for Unbound. The talk I would like to hear about is, the Aid Stations. In road you don’t attack in the feed zone, gravel don’t care. As for the Gravel World champion, well, when will we see a real course that reflects real gravel? The guy rocks up with two teammates and 40mm tires, what a joke! I’m glad he got a lesson in that half ass rainbow jersey!

@scotbenton 26 дней назад

are yah dating keegan already? did lachy give yah the brush off years ago? c'mon love, lachy pasted the boys - he did what he aways does and he knew something - he knew just how hard it is to make speed atop such chunky gravel. the difference between his move this year and others is not the people behind him - it's not that they couldn't make up their minds - because when they did, the group parsed quickly down exponentially as the miles dwindled... No it wasn't what happened or did not happen behind that allowed morton to win, it is that lachy did not falter. he finally is in a space inside where he can finish what he starts. that's what happened. crashes - there were crashes and you and others have said it was because it was a bit crowded and nervous - but more than that, it was that they were all trying to push it to catch the leaders over really really chunky stuff and there is a terminal velocity over that stuff - people were pushing the physics envelope er boy keegan included - lachlan figured that out = note the size tires he started using last year - before everyone else... much love and much respect to you and yer channel.

@Locus2021 13 дней назад

Edited your comment and it still comes off as bad. Overall your point is mute because if Lachlan didn't make the wrong turn and ended up back in the group, very good chance he blows up and loses. He benefited by joining that breakaway and then it becoming two riders working together.

When there is money involved, everyone will do whatever they can to win. Ridiculous to think otherwise or expect "your heroes" to not do whatever they can to win

Lachlan Morton hasn’t killed the Spirit of Gravel, Lifetime Grand Prix has. The 1hr highlights coverage package is terrible. So hyped, so frustrating not to be able to watch more of the actual races, too much focus on the commentators and above all, too much focus on the elite top 10. ...The Spirit of Gravel is the 99% of participants who are not in the elite races. The coverage of Unbound should be 50/50 divided between the elite races and the general participants, to celebrate the true Spirit of Gravel ...which is participation. This is what Unbound is built on. The coverage should be less broken and more cohesive, showing more of the actual racing. The commentary is presented as if we have watched the whole race, when in reality we see only snippets inserted amidst commentator hype. Very disappointing coverage, especially given the whole race is filmed by vehicle and chopper. Currently the hype is more important than the actual overall event. This is what's killing the Spirit of Gravel, not the elite riders, who are all awesome. …But no more awesome than every other finisher, who is competing with themselves and enjoying being part of the Spirit of Gravel.

Seems like gravel is for those who couldn’t cut it in the World Tour. I don’t respect anyone who uses expensive marginal gains to gain an advantage over those who might just be better in a fair fight!

@jorgelucascouto 26 дней назад

A helmet and skin suit is a expensive game changer or just a minimal marginal gain that anyone in the top 20 could use?

@jldickerson3 26 дней назад

Matej Mohoric (msr, multiple tour stages, etc.) brought a team (two other Bahrain hitters) and they all got chewed up and quit. So maybe you're right even if evidence suggests otherwise.
