#5 Grit Grind Girona - Petr Vakoc
In this episode I'm joined by one of the strongest gravel riders in the world Petr Vakoc. Petr has an incredible story. The rapid rise to the top of road cycling got stopped by a collision with a truck during a training ride in South Africa. After an incredible recovery, he came back towards racing at the highest level, including finishing another Tour de France. In 2021 he retired from professional cycling, and turned his focus to off-road endurance events. Nowadays, he is seen as one of the best gravel riders in the world. Join me and Petr in a long, but amazing conversation!

But beyond the workshop, he’s also making a name for himself on the global gravel racing scene. Competing at the highest level, one of his standout achievements was finishing 3rd at the grueling Traka 360km in 2023. Whether in the workshop or on the racecourse, Diederik is a true pillar of the Girona cycling scene.

(Disclaimer; sorry if the sound isn’t amazing. We had to tweak the recording a bit, because we recorded the episode next to the busiest street in Girona)
