Lots going on in this episode but it's mostly Holy complaining about getting harassed (just kidding, she loves it) by Gravel Dads at a privateer curious local, grassroots gravel race.
First off, Tom Pidcock is doing UCI Gravel Worlds because he didn't get his Vuelta stage win. If he wins the rainbow jersey, he WILL line up at Unbound so he can fight with Keegan (also in marathon mountain bike rainbow) about the definition of Xtreme Gravel. The Gravel Earth series is over but we will endure and solder on. Doss Gravel made Holy like riding Gravel again.
