After racing at the top of the sport for more than a decade at the Tour de France and beyond, Alex Howes created his own gravel program for 2023 where he got to select his own equipment. He tested 18 different tires and did all the big events, and in this video he shares his thoughts and his favorites.
While 2023 was his first year racing solo, it certainly wasn't his first year racing gravel; Alex won SBT GRVL in 2021 and placed third at Unbound Gravel in 2019 - the same year he won the US National Road Championship.
Alex's favorite tires:
Everyday and adventure: Pirelli Cinturato RC tinyurl.com/5fy95a9z
