Are We Ready For The Gravel World Championships?

With just ten days to go until the Gravel World Championships, it’s time for our final, grueling race simulation ride to test our pacing, nutrition, and fitness. We also take out the brand-new Colnago G5X gravel bike and test our Favero Assioma Pro MX power meter pedals to ensure our tech is race-ready. Stick around until the end to see our final fitness tests and find out if months of hard training have paid off!
