“Cycling culture links us together. Something DFRNT’s mission is to inspire through art and style, to be the bridge between lanes. Whether it’s kids in the city dodging traffic, lost in the mountains ripping trails or competing in the biggest gravel races in the world, we are all riders. Cycling has always catered to tradition. We are not traditional. Something DFRNT is a movement dedicated to shining a light on the overlooked portions of our sport.”
@andrewjackson_ , @boojohnson , @jonaswoodruff_ , @llori_the_sharpest , @joel_kyaviro are the riders of @something_dfrnt - a crew ready to change the face of cycling culture.
No stone left unturned. The new Pro Team Collection is a record of our relentless obsession to equip riders who want to go further, faster, over and over again.
Saturday is when it feels like everyone and their dog is in town for Traka, bringing a raucous and electric atmosphere throughout the day and well into the night.
The 200 is certainly no walk in the park for both the open and pro fields, and this year’s edition was the most competitive yet. A big clutch of our elite RCC athletes left everything on the gravel, battling illness and mechanicals to cross the line. The crew on the ground supporting our riders brought maximum vibes from dawn to dusk to dawn. We’re looking forward to cheering on @llori_the_sharpest and @sarahsturmy in the 100 tomorrow.
320km of heart-pounding gravel, technical singletrack, and non-stop competition. This first day of racing at Traka is substantial to say the least. @romainbardet , in his first season as an offroad privateer, tested his grand tour legs on the rough stuff of Catalunya, coming in a 5th place on his debut in Europe’s most prestigious weekend of gravel racing.
@camjonesnz , winner of last years’ Unbound 200, and @maude.tmg both faltered after strong starts due to illness. They’ll be on the up soon and cheering on their fellow @rapha_rcc athletes tomorrow in the Traka 200.
Chapeau, Romain, Cam, Maude and all of the other RCC members who kept the power on the pedals for more than 10 hours of flat out racing.
Keep an eye our feed as we cheer on @laelwilcox , @jananas.banjana and @victorbozo in the Traka 560.
