Unbound Gravel 2024 - Elite Mens Raw Highlights

THE BIG ONE! Here are my raw highlights clips from the 2024 Unbound Elite Mens 200 mile gravel race! The only way I can describe it would be what I imagine a race like Paris Roubaix would be. The course recon and battle for postion into each "Chunky Sector" was arguably more important than going through the sectors themselves. I was having an amazing ride, mostly in all the right places at the right times and still feeling fresh coming into "little egypt" around mile 100. Disaster struck with an ill timed flat half way through this section, and I chased hard the remainder of the day to come in 29th out of the 120 riders in the mens elite field!
