Gravel Worlds, Lombardia & a Teen’s Pro Dream | The Breakaway EP37
This week on The Breakaway, Tristan McGiven sits down with us to talk about moving to online school, training 10 to 20 hours a week, racing in Belgium against juniors who compete all year, and the one lesson that stuck: stop comparing yourself to others. He also shares what he eats, how he measures a good race, and what next year in Europe looks like. Before that, the racing. Marianne Vos wins the 2026 Gravel World Championships in Nannup, Michelle George wins her age group for South Africa, Paul Seixas wins Il Lombardia, and Candice Lill wins the Life Time Little Sugar MTB. We also cover the SA Schools finals in Stellenbosch, a poll asking if a party’s cycling policy would change your vote, and what’s coming up: Derby Dash, Gravel Burn, the Attakwas Extreme prize purse and a documentary premiere.
