Nathan Haas on why you don’t need MTB tyres for gravel and how the UCI is “disrespecting” gravel pros

Liam and Simon are joined by Nathan Haas, a former WorldTour professional turned gravel privateer, to discuss the tech trends that could define gravel racing in the coming years.

Having started his cycling career as a mountain biker, Haas explains why he thinks MTB tyres and suspension forks are overkill for gravel racing.

The trio also touch on the recent UCI Gravel World Championships, and how the sport’s governing body could improve its support for the independent gravel racing scene.
