Gralloch Gravel is one of the biggest Gravel events on the UK calendar and if I'm honest I was really excited for the race, halfway up the first climb I was in trouble and things went from bad to worse resulting in a beer or two questioning life choices at the airport.

Solid effort, though, Alex. Well done. Love the video. Looks like the weather was favourable and the course looked amazing! Would loved to have ridden this one. Good to see Nathan featuring too. You guys always have solid banter! Keep it coming! Enjoying seeing how you're getting on!

Cracking, from the heart, video! ❤ Racing Pro can never prepare you for the ups and downs of a “normal” family life and how it affects your body and mind. Next race, you will be tired and feeling awful and probably compete well 🤷‍♂️ Keep the content coming! 💪 🚲

Oh, I can feel your disappoinment. The video was enjoyable to watch anyway 😅 So in my view, you achieved something. It was not worthless :)

Don’t be down on yourself dude, you’ve done so much on a bike! I imagine (wouldn’t know as I struggle riding up 3% climbs) it must be hard when you’re more than capable, but you’ve won stages at the Giro. You’ll win soon enough.

Good to see Alex & nice effort there, shame about the legs. So, why do you & Nathan not take lighter TPU inner tubes for emergancy rather than Buytl?

Alex....on one hand you just broke the MALDON 50TT course record,and fair enough you got beat on the gravel but look,family life and children take away lots of energy and you are older and your body sometimes says NO not today.Dont beat yourself up,just enjoy the ride.....You are a Grand tour stage winner! How many people can say that!
