If I hadn't travelled all the way from Denmark I'm not sure I would have made it all the way either. Crazy conditions! Happy to hear I wasn't the only one ending up in the water 😅
That would for sure be the best option, but also the most expensive one.😅 Getting married in a few weeks and I'm not sure my future wife would appreciate me spending money on a extra set of race wheels at the moment😂 But not a bad idea for next year!
Thanks for the video. Did you also wear down everything on your bike? (drivetrain, brake pads, bearings? My cousin also rode the race and had a lot of mechanical wear 😮
@@gravelracingwithmadsbang Same here. After 120kms, it was steel on steel for braking. But not just when I wanted to brake - it was all the time - the steel spring pad carriers wore through, letting the brake pad backing plates rub on to the discs. It was a horror show. I'd have been better off riding with my 33mm Challenge Limus tyres from CX.
Hej Mads, jeg synes du skulle prøve at give continental Terra speed et forsøg. Super hurtigt dæk med lidt mere greb. Ved ikke hvor meget mere det havde givet i de ekstremt dybe mudder sektioner, men der er bestemt noget at hente ift greb og det kan du så overføre til "selvtillid" på cyklen når der begynder at blive glat. Det er i hvert fald blevet mit go to gravel dæk.
Det er faktisk et dæk jeg har fået anbefalet flere gange. Det er helt klart noget som jeg vil prøve at kigge på. Tak fordi du nævner det. En ting er jo om et dæk er sjovt at køre på, men det er jo nok meget fornuftigt med bare en smule greb.
So far this is the worst gravel race, that mud is for mountain bikes. What a pity. I wish you had mud last year and this would be fine, you had more confidence this time, I could see your positioning and how you closed the gaps. Just keep trying, don’t give up man! Your time will come, that extra race time is good training. So you win anyway! 🤛🏻

congrats to all finishers and thanks for sharing
Thansk a lot 🙏
This race was something else ,keep progressing and believing 🌞🚴🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️
It really was. And such a shame. It's a really cool race, but with weather like this it's no fun.
Great vid! I stopped at 101k, to crazy for me haha. During my ride I saw 2 other people ending up in the water aswell.

Keep pushing, you will succeed!
Hope so 😀🤞
Are you able to get a second set of wheels with tires that work better in the mud, so you can swap wheels quicker if needed ?
That would for sure be the best option, but also the most expensive one.😅 Getting married in a few weeks and I'm not sure my future wife would appreciate me spending money on a extra set of race wheels at the moment😂 But not a bad idea for next year!
@@gravelracingwithmadsbang Understand your situation, I'm married for 42 years so it's less of an issue 😉. Good luck and have a nice wedding party.
Haha, that is a bit more 😀 thanks a lot.

I did! All the wet sand and mut really isn't good for the bike. Couldn't really break anymore the last 30 k 🤣

Déjà-vu with the mud racing. ;-)
I know 😢
I know 😢
It was a nice Cyclocross ;) And never go with slick tires again haha
hahah it sure was😂 can't say I will never go with slicks again, but for sure never in conditions like this again.
Welcome in rainy Netherlands.

@@gravelracingwithmadsbang det er hurtigt 💪
Gravel bike is basically a 26 inch mtb with less mud clearance. :d
😂
Cyclocross XXL
It really was 🤣
