Fantasy Gravel

The season is on, and we had the chance to be at The Hills, Mattia De Marchi’s brutal race in Italy. One of the toughest events of the year, we caught up with the riders to hear their thoughts.

Featuring Carolin Schiff, Payson McElveen, Frederik Rassmann, Eddy Le Huitouze, Toby Perry, and Erica Magnaldi.

Hear their thoughts on the race—and what they’re craving the moment they cross the finish line.

We sat down with Mattia De Marchi to talk about The Grip, the brand-new elite gravel team backed by Wilier Triestina — and the vision behind it.

Born from the evolution of professional gravel racing, The Grip is more than just a team: it’s a project built around performance, storytelling, and a new way of approaching competition off-road.

In this episode, Mattia opens up about:

How The Grip came to life with Wilier Triestina

What makes this project different from traditional road or gravel teams

The future of elite gravel racing and where it’s heading

Balancing racing, identity, and passion in a fast-changing discipline
