Elite Women's Gravel World Championships 2024

[@Harko-]

Staying on Vos’ wheel was the perfect plan, you called that one correctly 😀. Thanks for sharing some behind the scenes and shenanigans, Maddy 🙏

[@maddynutt]

@@Harko- such a shame we both didn’t manage to stay on her wheel 🤣

@@maddynutt this is like an old Seinfeld skit on a failed car rental ("these people know how to _take_ a reservation, but they don't know how to _hold_ the reservation") -- for GWC2024, you did well to _make_ a race plan, you just didn't _follow_ the race plan 🤔😛

Swanny cam once again delivers 👌 Great to see you at the Worlds after that bummer of a Summer; enjoy the off season!

[@maddynutt]

@@flojo7144 thank you!!

[@simonlishman]

Brilliant look behind the scenes, great effort in the race.

[@larrymyles1012]

Thanks for sharing Maddy! Ride ON sister!

[@MarkNeal75]

My fav Maddy quote “carbs on carbs” 😂❤ and let’s not forget the support of love from your number one swannie!

[@maddynutt]

the best kind of carbs come with more carbs ahaha

[@RyTyme]

Looks like brilliant fun. Well done!

[@frazergoodwin4945]

Oh my god, you stood at the same corner as me (on the entrance to the forêt de soignes beside "Merry Horse" in Rode st Genese) for the men's race! My local trails and tracks I've been riding for 30 years - great to see the World Champs run locally - even if cobbles, mud and forest gravel isn't the same as Rebound gravel!

[@maddynutt]

@@frazergoodwin4945 ahaha just on the wall to get a good view!! Was an epic atmosphere that’s for sure- and I enjoyed some of the woodland bits a lot

[@barryf1966]

A hard n fast event I was there looking after mate

[@alanbenham4139]

Well done Maddie & swannie

[@Zyzzyx42]

I'm only a spectator from the other side of the world, but I'm fairly sure I've seen way more gravel at Strada Bianche.

[@maddynutt]

@@Zyzzyx42 I think this is a just opinion 🤣

[@hugoed3740]

Great vlog on some of the behind the scenes at World Champs, Maddy and Swanny cam. Enjoyed seeing the bike setup, not that I understood everything 😁 Shame there was no race footage, maybe time to buy a new GoPro 🤔

[@maddynutt]

@@hugoed3740 I’m looking into it! Might need to wait until Xmas and ask for one! Sadly this one didn’t last very long

[@ChuckHarris-go5nz]

That looked like a lot of fun. I hope your dad is okay and doing well.

[@lemonfodder]

What a Queen

[@bengt_axle]

They should just call it "Gribble". It is a great name for Ribble to use for their gravel bike line -- the Ribble Gribble.

[@maddynutt]

@@bengt_axle hahahaha I love this. Will feed this back 🤣

Courtney: I"m no expert, but i'm pretty sure that's road. Me: Who's Rose? Should I know who Rose is?

[@efraimlouisegolicruz795]

it's a beautiful bike! 🤩

[@RickRolling-tc7vb]

Congrats on your bike path grand prix result, pretty decent considering the strength of the competition and the minimal technical sections, not much to love there. Love the Belgians for their enthusiasm for cycling though, must have been amazing to ride through the town with that crowd. You looked pretty fresh at the end, so well done on the fuelling and training to get you home in good shape. Hope your Dad is doing alright now too (Hi Joe) and has pulled up ok after that nonsense. Probably needs more time on the bike... I'd be interested to know if you think you had picked the right tyres for the race, as the course seemed a lot more urban than the other races. No punctures is always the right choice in any race of intensity, I think.

[@maddynutt]

@@RickRolling-tc7vb it definitely was a bike path GP 🤣 the Belgian enthusiasm was unreal. I’ve never experienced anything like the crowds there! Reckon I could have gone for narrower tyres and perhaps less tread as well. The recce I did the day before there was mud but on race day no mud, so it’s very hard to know exactly what tyres to run even when you recce the course!

[@andyinabox]

Just waiting for Netflix to do a Swanny Cam for the next season of TDF Unchained 😂. Loved it as usual... hopefully next year gravel world championships will have some gravel!

[@maddynutt]

[@johngray63]

What power pedals do you use? pros/cons vs a crank based power meter. Thanks

[@maddynutt]

@@johngray63 I use pedals because I have multiple bikes and I need to have power on them all, so easy to switch between. I use garmin rally single sided.

Maddy needs to trademark the recovery nutrition waffle. And Swanny Cam. Or maybe recovery nutrition waffle under Swanny Cam? Wait, who gets Swanny Cam?

At one point I was confused and thought Swanny was going to hand you up a baguette. Glad your dad is ok. You looked top notch in the GBR kit.

[@maddynutt]

A baguette hand up would have been iconic

[@joef2932]

That would be hilarious if you ate a full baguette as you were riding along. Maybe offer a bite to Vos for letting you stay on her wheel.

[@vladimir5258]

Who were those men, that were passing you? Just random riders, or amateur racers? Either way, shame on UCI once again (does anyone count? haha)

[@joef2932]

Those were age-group racers. it doesn’t seem fair that some can benefit from riders in a totally different division.

[@delayclose5012]

Up until very recently all gravel was just mass starts regardless of gender of age groups. Splitting them was against the spirit of gravel or something.

[@Richz2]

To be able to race the World Championship you should have to do at least a handful of gravel races to qualify, not just one.Having roadies and triathlons athletes turn up and then never race another one is poor. There are many gravel riders who race all over the world and promote their sport and then lose out to a small percentage of riders who don’t really care about gravel.

[@delayclose5012]

Why should world championships not be won by whoever is actually the fastest on the world championships course? I understand it's annoying that gravel specialists aren't competitive against actual professional riders, but like what's the solution here? Force pro roadies to destroy everyone in qualifier events too (effectively making it harder for gravel specialists to qualify)?

[@Richz2]

@@delayclose5012 Firstly gravel racers ARE Professional. How many times will Marianne Vos and Mathieu Van der Poel be wearing their Rainbow jersey? Once or twice maybe? I doubt many roadies would be allowed to take time off from their road schedule do race 5/10 gravel races. I think they enjoy racing gravel for fun. Also was this course really a gravel race?

[@petesjk]

⁠@@delayclose5012I understand where you’re coming from, but riders like Maddy never had a chance to win this race, so for all of her effort over the season, she has no chance to gain financially from this race, arguably the most publicized and broadcast European gravel race of the year. Many of the best American gravel riders didn’t even bother attending this race because they would lose money traveling for and riding in this race, and I can’t blame them. If you look at top finishers for this race, notice that their salaries combined are almost more than the rest of the field.

[@clairebratcher6374]

Hang on what are the men doing in the women’s WC that’s just wrong on all levels, they need to do better especially for a World Championships! Well done though Maddie. Also Swannie stole the vlog again so funny, she should have her own show 🤔 oh wait…😂😂

[@maddynutt]

They set the age group men off behind us. They definitely need to spread us all out more so they don’t impact the race and we don’t impact theirs!! Ahahahha she does like to do that

[@annelisenorth8670]

Why is it necessary for women to skreetch!! I fully understand in joining the hype, but if you're recording, the sound is ear drum bursting when listening to it. For godsake women tone it down. Just listen to yourself.
