In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, deputy editor Jack Luke and technical editor Tom Marvin are joined by gravel racer and BikeRadar alumnus Ben Delaney to ignite the first episode in our gravel racing series with Canyon.

The trio go over the fundamentals of gravel racing, look back at the early days of the discipline and outline the criteria you should consider when purchasing a new gravel bike.

Delaney shares his experiences of competing in some of the world's most difficult gravel races and shares what he considers to be the best bike setup for long-distance events.
