Gravel is Real
by Elena Dušková
Gravel is a real sport.And I think people still don’t fully get that. At the front, it’s not chill, it’s not just vibes—it’s serious numbers, real suffering, and being a top-level athlete.This is not an influencer space, and it’s definitely not a safe place for ex-pro road riders to just show up and win.In this podcast, I go deep into what it actually takes. My races, my data, what it costs to make the split, where races are won and lost. Training, mistakes, small details that actually matter.Sometimes it will get nerdy. Sometimes maybe too much. But it’s real.I’m doing this as a privateer, trying to make it in gravel, so you’ll get everything—the good, the bad, and the things people usually don’t say.Tires, numbers, racing, reality.
