Gravel Locos Recap AND Gravel Q&A with Laurens Ten Dam

Спорт

Caution: this video contains Dutch curse words.
Both before and after the Gravel Locos 150, Ted catches up with Tour de France stalwart, Laurens Ten Dam, to see how prepared he is for the 2021 gravel scene. What to pack, how to prepare, do you think he's ready?!
This video also features the shake out ride and race itself at Hico, Texas's very own Gravel Locos. From beautiful rolling hills to gritty mud, from pristine gravel roads to a handful of river crossings, Gravel Locos did not disappoint!
Gravel Locos has done even more, however, with their fundraising effort for the Hico Volunteer Fire Department. To find out more visit this crowdfunding website to help them reach their $85,000 goal:

    I believe you are sponsored by Rene Hearse tires if I am not mistaken. I think those are some of the highest quality tires I have ever used. The downside is they seem a little slow compared to some other tires like the Specialized Pathfinder Pro or the Pirelli Gravel tire. Have you ever thought about using a lower rolling resistance tire or are you contractually obligated to use there product. I think you would be even faster on another tire. Good luck in your upcoming races, I am a big fan. Thank you.

    I need a tip for how to keep water for long endurance rides best way possible. If possible, attach bottles on fork in bikepacking style, timetrial double bottle mount behind saddle or camel bag? I see a lot of riders wearing a camel but I thought it's good to get rid of the weight on your body and keep the weight on your bike as much possible?

    Love and support Ted for being Ted. Love cycling, gravel, support your own local municipal programs but do not support this town's fundraising effort no matter the noble cause. This town pays their high school football coach $94k, and he has six assistant coaches. I know, they're probably masquerading as "teachers" . Does a town that places more value on high school football than it's Fire Department deserve your support? NO! Take a look at Phil Giamon's "FEED THE KIDS" charity if you're feeling generous.
