In this episode of Dirt Dispatch, host Jacob Willems sits down with Sam Gaze — fresh off a season balancing World Cup mountain biking and the road calendar with Alpecin–Deceuninck.
They dive into the realities of new fatherhood, how golf keeps him grounded, and what it’s like managing the intensity of two disciplines at the highest level. From team dynamics to recovery routines and the shift in mindset that comes with becoming a parent, Sam opens up in a way fans rarely get to hear.
