David Millar and Tom Dumoulin, former WorldTour cyclists, participate in the gravel racing event, Unbound Gravel, seeking a more relaxed and enjoyable experience compared to their professional careers. They aim to rediscover the joy of cycling without the intense pressure of competition. Millar tests prototype bikes while Dumoulin emphasizes the experience over performance. Both riders appreciate the community and the natural feel of gravel racing, contrasting it with the forced atmosphere sometimes found in road racing, allowing them to reconnect with their love for cycling.
For both riders, gravel offers a return to the basics and a break from the hyper-professionalism that they experienced on the WorldTour.
Dumoulin echoed that sentiment, even as a recon-ride crash left the former Giro d'Italia champion with an injured hand and scrapes across his knee.
