The Wildest Race I’ve Ever Done. Can I Survive?

We’re at the Gravel World Championships 2024! The best male and female riders on the planet are here, including Mathieu Van der Poel, Lotte Kopecky and Marianne Vos, and of course – Si! Si will in fact be competing in the most ferocious, competitive group: the 40-44 year olds. He’s got an epic Colnago bike with him, and the drive to take on the challenge. But his training hasn’t quite gone to plan…so, will he survive?

In collaboration with @colnagoTV and @RideShimano:
