Bikes of Speed, Traka Edition - Linus’ Argon 18 Anti Matter
Following his impressive overall win in the U23 edition of Santa Vall, PAS Racing Devo rider @linusoestdal came back to Girona on a high. Unfortunately, sickness got the better of Linus, and he never got to show what he could do in @thetraka 200.
What he could showcase, though, was the then-unreleased and highly anticipated @argon18bike Anti Matter, which he used to tackle the demanding course. A no-compromise, aerodynamic gravel race bike perfectly living up to its design mantra of: Pure Energy. Perfect Control.
Watch the video where Linus walks us through his race setup.

@linusoestdal - PAS Racing devo rider lining up for Traka 200.
First season with PAS Racing. New races, new level, new experiences.
He already showed what’s in him with the U23 win at Santa Vall. Strong legs, but more importantly the mindset to keep learning and building.
That’s what this phase is about. Not just racing, but understanding what it takes to perform over longer distances.
Fueling is part of that process. Getting the basics right. Drink mixes in the bottles, GEL 40 and a mix of solids like CHEW 40 and PERFORMANCE BAR to keep the energy coming.
No fixed formula yet. Just learning what works, race by race.
Youth. Energy. Hunger.
Let’s see what’s there. Enjoy the process, Linus.
Spent the week in Italy racing The Hills Gravel. OK legs, good food, great company. P 29 in the end, on to some road racing with @teamcrankscc now.
Thanks to @sramroad for fixing the @argon18bike Dark Matter the night before the race.
This is what the gravels look like right now.
The end of winter is getting closer.
The ground is shifting. The light is changing.
Plants are waking up.
We rode with some of the new members of Pas Racing. @internationalcyclingclub
Youth. Energy. Hunger.
That mix you can’t fake.
Here’s a glimpse of what it was.
These are the roads of The Traka.
Some of the places its routes run through.
The season has just begun.
And these young riders didn’t come to blend in.
Don’t miss the recap.
And don’t lose track of them.
See you soon. @gravelearthseries
Last weekend, the gravel season kicked off at @santavall_ Girona.
