• Gravel Burn stage 6 recap with Hayley Preen

  Stage 6 of Gravel Burn did not go according to plan. Strong winds led to treacherous conditions, and after Swiss rider Andri Frischknecht suffered a crash due to high crosswinds, the 144-kilometre stage was neutralised. To recap the day, Payson is joined by South African rider Hayley Preen, who is currently sitting in third place in the GC. They talk about the weather out on course, what it was like to slow roll the rest of the stage after the decision was made to neutralise it, and what they’re anticipating for tomorrow’s seventh and final stage. This episode was made possible by TrainingPeaks. Listen all the way to the end to hear some of Hayley's numbers from the race so far.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: [email protected]

• Gravel Burn stage 4 recap with Lukas Baum and Georg Egger

  Stage 4 of Gravel Burn was 111 kilometres of near-constant headwind. Payson is joined by Speed Company duo Lukas Baum and Georg Eggers to get the lowdown on their moves that shook up the race early and how Lukas’s flat impacted his third-place GC position. Lukas and Georg have been friends since they raced as juniors. After becoming XC Junior World Champion in 2013, however, Lucas fell out of love with the sport and quit altogether. It was Georg who convinced him to start again in 2022, this time on a two-person team and focusing on stage races. In their first attempt at the Cape Epic, they won, and it set them and their brand new, barely funded team on a new path. They tell Payson about how grassroots it all was in the beginning and why they chose to focus on marathon and stage racing. Plus, Lukas has an axe to grind with American gravel.This episode is sponsored by TrainingPeaks.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: [email protected]
