Two pods. One gravel circus. A whole lot of pea gravel carnage. This week, The Domestiques joins forces with Roadside Podcast and host Jethro Gammie-Nagle to unpack everything from Seven Gravel Race in Nannup, Western Australia. With the event acting as a full-blown dress rehearsal for the UCI Gravel World Championships in October, Matilda Reynolds and Mark O’Brien take us inside their elite races, from Tils chopping off with Tiffany Cromwell and Maria Laurie, to Marko trying to crush souls one climb at a time. There’s race breakdowns, tyre chat, collarbone counts, Netflix-level course coverage, kangaroo dodging, questionable podium-kit rules, and a look ahead to what the Europeans are really in for when Worlds hits proper Australian gravel. Plus, the crew dives into the Giro, Jai Hindley, Ben O’Connor, Luke Plapp causing absolute chaos in Hungary, and the upcoming women’s racing calendar.

A collaboration pod. A gravel therapy session. A warning shot for October.
