We’re not yet done with The Traka. In this week’s episode, we bring on Svenja Betz and Victor Bosoni, the winners of the 560 km The Traka Adventure, to talk about their long days out.

In the conversation, we learn how the two prepared for their races, including nutrition, bike setup, and pacing. We find out why you don’t need power or heart rate data to win the longest race of “Traka week”. And we discuss the current state of ultra racing.

The Traka is arguably Europe's most important gravel race—or, rather, the two most important races, as both the 200 km and 360 km races have stacked fields and top-level competition.

To recap all the action, we invited Karolina Migon, Tobias Kongstad, and Mads Würtz Schmidt, the winners of The Traka 360 and Traka 200.

How did the Traka 200 unfold? Do we need one clear main event? What role did men play in the finale of the women’s race? Will the 100+ km solo become the new normal in gravel? Who did heat-train in the Pas Normal Offices? Find out all this and more in our mega recap of The Traka’s 2025 edition.
