There's defitthe Ryder Cup angle you took. But there's a second one: do we need a Ryder Cup equivalent in gravel?
I mean the Euro vs US discussion is by now almost a meme in the sport. And because of the structure, we rarely see the best of the best from both sides of the scene face off against each other. So I think it could be a popular event.
Now, what format would that be? A gravel TTT? Nah, not dope enough. I'd propose a mini stage race, say 3 days, that has like 1 rolling terrain stage, 1 climby stage, 1 gravel crit. And we don't decide by GC time but best cumulative time of all riders in the 8-rider squads (4 men, 4 women, purposefully riding together).
A joint venture by Life Time and Klassmark, always swapping between happening in Europe and the US.

Doesn't that sound like fun prestige gravel?
Now I'm not following what "defitthe" means, but hell yeah, what a spectacular idea.
Haha, I think it's the typing monkey version of "definitely the" 😅
