Gravel stage racing in Kenya? The Migration Gravel Race has you
covered. In this episode, we talk to this year's winners Lukas
Baum and Haley Hunter Smith.

First, Lukas tells us how his trip to Kenya went, why he ate a
lot of his own rice, and what the team tactics controversy we
witnessed in the official race recap videos was all about.

We also get into some interesting bike setup and suspension talk.
Finally, we learn more about the inner workings of the Speed
Company Racing team and what their model could mean for
gravel.

Then, we talk to Haley about her experience in the race, find out
how she managed to close a 20-minute gap in three days, and why
she decided to race on a full suspension drop bar mountain
bike.

We also learn about her research of the Spirit of Gravel, her SBT
GRVL experience, and why Gravel Earth Series may become more
important for her in the future.
