  • Whilst in Vermont Jeremy caught up with Ted King, former WorldTour pro cyclist who has now turned his hand to racing gravel. Ted's won Dirty Kanza twice and a heap of other big gravel races, so it's fair to say that he knows a thing or two about how to ride off road. He shares his insights with Jeremy whilst on a quick bike ride around his home roads.

    Having someone who focuses on crits would be awesome as well! I know there arent necessarily "crit specific" bikes like gravel/cx but having a crit-focused presenter would be amazing for those of us in the US where crit racing is trying to keep cycling relevant in america!
