00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Can you describe Unbound 2023 in a few sentences?
00:07 - Hmm.
00:09 - The thing with Unbound is it's been on my bucket list
00:15 for so long, I've been wanting to come here and race.
00:17 Sports can favor the underdog,
00:19 and that's what I'm clinging to.
00:21 My sport crew is my dad.
00:26 I'm excited about it, it's like I've got a job.
00:30 (upbeat music)
00:32 - Unbound is a totally different animal.
00:35 Very few people can race the Tour de France.
00:37 Unbound is the Tour de France of gravel,
00:39 and anyone can race it.
00:41 - My experience of Unbound.
00:46 - No one told me I'd be running.
00:47 - Bedlam, mud, carnage.
00:52 - Muddy chaos.
00:53 - Someone asked me the question,
00:58 if you were to do that 21 days of the rainy Giro again,
01:03 or Unbound, starting tomorrow, which would you do?
01:05 And I said, I'd do the Giro.
01:07 That was too hard, man.
01:08 - It's a bike race, but it's not a bike race.
01:13 It's a survival race.
01:15 It is brutal.
01:17 Can't hold the camera anymore.
01:21 Just hoping I can make it.
01:22 Starting to get a bit scared.

01:36 (dramatic music)
