>>1440293Yes, I definitely agree, a mtb would have been ideal for that really rough section. But it was a 100 km race, and that section was less than 1 km, the other 99 km was either like pic related or on asphalt, so a mtb would have been a hindrance otherwise. It's really hard to recommend what someone 'needs' for gravel riding without having ridden the same roads they plan to ride.
