Laurens Ten Dam

The former WorldTour pro turned gravel pro turned media mogul is adding another job description to his post-retirement palmares.

As the coach of the Dutch national team, Ten Dam has superstars like Van der Poel and Vos in the running for the rainbow stripes this weekend. But he wants them to enjoy the spirit of gravel along the way.

The former Dutch roadie rides 650 miles and 72,000 feet of vert in three days and 47 minutes, finishing 48 minutes ahead of Rob Britton in second place.

'I’m sure that I’m not a mountain biker, and at 41 I've tried to become one, but guys like Swenson and Finsterwald are used to riding mountain bikes since they were kids,' says veteran Dutch rider.

'The young guys like Keegan Swenson are more complete than I am. Maybe if they put a road race in the series it would suit me better,' says Dutch rider.
