Oskar Stack-Michasiw and Kyle Dawes - Beyond the Privateer ep 10

In this episode of the privateer deep dive series we bring in not one but two young gravel heads to find out what's going down in the world of gravel U23. Are the kids indeed alright?We talk to Mach1Devo team member Oskar Stack-Michasiw and substackian bike journalist Kyle Dawes about Unbound in particular but also what the general vibes of being a U23 athlete is all about and what the media landscape for this division is shaping up to be. Life Time is working towards legitimizing their league as a space for younger athletes but it is still a bit of a mystery for many of us normies what all is going on and it can look weird a bit weird if you ask about children-coded folks (they are all of draftable ages as far as I know). We also get into how we all know each other and bonus chat about the viral Canadian Gravel Nattys (Oskar is Canadian if it wasn't obvious from his accent). Anyway it was fun to link with these guys again after the time we spent eating rural Kansas diner food (very good) and stacking bike cases into airport shuttles.
