Watching Mo Wilson ride was tough. I really feel for everyone that knew and loved her.

[@ultimatist]

Mo Wilson was such a promising young talent... RIP

[@deblordoutdoors5783]

Watching Mo with tears in my eyes. So sad we didn’t get to see all she would go on to achieve.

[@movingpointcc]

The journey through Season 1 was unforgettable 🚴‍♀🌟. Proud to add it to our collection. Season 2 continues the legacy, but this is where our hearts were won.

[@LifeTimeGrandPrix]

Gotta be a great collection!

[@mrmotomoto]

So lucky to call these my local trails. A lot more people out there riding in recent years, and with all the rain, those ruts will mean more wipeouts this year. Can’t wait til April!

[@elaldiyo]

Wow!! This is impressive - F1 drive to survive vibes

[@collinjohnson488]

Great series. Splitting the woman/men up was a great idea in my opinion. One of the best cycling media I’ve seen.

[@bluegreymtb3350]

I'm glued to watch this , many times

[@jeffahn]

RIP Mo Wilson

[@chrisfarrell8399]

Wow!! So excited to watch this!!!

[@cliffsiegel4207]

Fantastic series! Sea Otter/Ft. Old used to be my old dirt/gravel backyard. So cool to see once more all the oak trees and lupins in bloom. These athletes are totally inspiring in their focus, preparation, and skills. Thank you so much for putting this out there!

[@hanswolters1781]

My thoughts exactly, I loved riding in Ft Ord, such a variety too, and so awesome in spring before it got sandy.

[@adskibradski]

Looking forward to seeing more of Alex Wild, impressive podium!

[@mikewikstrom3416]

I can’t stop watching that shot of the tire blowing out from Big Sugar. Heck of a bad luck moment caught on video.

[@budycelyn]

i was expecting to watch these drip fed over a few weeks, imagine my joy when they all popped up at once

[@hanswolters1781]

It's hard to stop watching these. I am not very productive today, lol

[@dutchtornado2436]

Let’s go!

[@PiquePictures]

[@HunterTravels]

[@cherleyyeah]

"Oh cute, you raced the Tour de France" 🤣

[@carlnyman4903]

This is fucking fantastic content.

[@chrisblanchard4938]

Mo Wilson…. RIP

[@grahamsheley6705]

An xco race next year would be fun?

[@marshallheckman]

Damn if all gravel cyclist knew about this it would have 100k what the heck this should have been on all the gravel sites and magixines... I didn't know about it until my brontold me crazy.... glad it's on its awesomeeeeee but damn yall should've got the word out we on tv

[@gweflj]

The roadies crashing on flat trails was comedy.

[@lanceoa]

Still mad 😠 I wasn’t selected 😅

[@freeride11000]

Cool, but would like to see more diversity in this years Grand Prix!

[@curtkautsch]

DAKAR for cyclists!!

[@freakyPhred]

Enjoying this well produced series with all the athlete interviews and event footage. But Kimo Seymour looses credibility when he says things like Unbound is the biggest cycling event in the world or that Europe doesn't have big amateur events. I get it, he's promoting his brand but please stay in the real world.

[@whatyoulookingat-i9k]

Yup, stopped watching it after this, big in america maybe.

[@taeekim]

So hard to Watch Mo in this…

[@Aeroskiii]

Ain't no way they comparing this shit to the tour. If the top tour riders came to these races they would win easily

[@nathanbliss432]

What like Armstrong destroying everyone at Leadville!?

[@Aeroskiii]

@@nathanbliss432 pogacar

[@nathanbliss432]

Sagan at the Olympics? Hmm what about Cadel Evans being an ex mtber and going on to win anything he chose to ? What about Pidcock who again has transferred to the road? My point is you can’t just say that roadies are superior - it’s not that black and white.

[@Aeroskiii]

@@nathanbliss432 the top roadies and mtb riders are far superior to the top gravel riders

[@nathanbliss432]

Ahhhh- now that’s different your initial statement read as Roadies are the best screw those off road guys. Thing is these guys aren’t top flight racers are they? If you took full on top flight pros racing gravel from any discipline it would look different. You’ve got Morten and Howes who were top 5 and were pro tour racers but not exactly Pog level, there’s Ten Dam who again was a monster but is arguably over the hill. The lifetime series is like a norba series, as opposed to world tour for them it is the premier series because a world gravel series doesn’t exist yet.

[@myfubarproject]

Ads… really? 👉🙄👎

[@petecampbell8697]

I get it but at least it’s not on a paid streaming service. It’s great content and need to be paid for after all.

[@MattGrovesFTW]

The production quality is legit. Like NFL Films level here.
