On Saturday October 7th the 2023 UCI Gravel World Championships were hosted in Veneto, Italy. Despite the significance of the event, no live coverage was provided by the race organizers or the UCI. This week on the show, Kristi is joined by 3 members of the US women’s team that competed at the event; Sarah Sturm, Paige Onweller and Katherine Sheridan, as well as journalist Betsy Welch who was on the ground covering the event. The group discusses why the lack of coverage for the women’s event is such a significant misstep for the UCI, and how we as fans of the sport can help support the women who are not getting the coverage they deserve.
