GCN Presenter Challenge - We Raced The European Gravel Championships

Team GCN heads to Houffalize, Belgium, to take on the brutal European Gravel Championships aboard the all-new Van Rysel RCR G. Facing 138km of harsh terrain and over 2,200m of elevation, five presenters representing their home nations go head-to-head for internal bragging rights. Who will survive the mud, punctures, and steep climbs to come out on top?
