Alex Wild is back, the elite gravel racer is fresh off the biggest gravel race in the world, the 2025 Unbound 200 . This is one of the craziest races on the planet. We get into it: the strategy, the chaos, the power numbers. Stick around till the end where Alex’s gives us his thoughts on who the real losers were in this 2nd round of the life time GP. This is a rare opportunity to peek inside the race. Alex breaks down how the race actually unfolded and gives us insight that we couldn’t see from the online coverage — how the early break with Cameron Jones happened, the chase group dynamic, and the decisions that either made your day or cracked you completely. He’s brutally honest about what went right, what went sideways, and what he’d do differently.We also go deep on the big-picture stuff: gravel licenses, bike setup, feed zones, and whether the sport’s getting too serious or still keeping that wild edge.
