Bike: Comapred to last year, I’ve made a serious bike upgrade. This time I’m planning to enjoy the ride on Rose X-Lite Six on Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset (AbsoluteBlack oval 50-34 chainrings and 11-34 casette). It comes on Rose RC-Forty/Fifty Disc wheelset with 28mm tubeless tires. But hey, all in all it’s still just a bike!

Michal Makowski
Age: 31
Cap number: 052
Location: Poland
Bike: Moots Routt RSL (size 58), my dream, ultimate N+1 bike. It is gravel-racing oriented, so a little more relaxed than a road bike, and it also allows me to equip it with 35mm Contis GP5000 AS.
Key items of kit: The bike normally has GRX Di2, Moots/Enve finishing kit, and Selle Italia Novus Evo Boost, rolling on CK wheelset For the race, I go for larger, 35mm tyres, an additional 3rd bottle cage (as I do not use any backpack), Redshift Dual-Position Seatpost, and Enve TT Clip-on Bar with custom, 3D-printed 30mm risers. The risky choice is Look road pedals. Also, the full Tailfin bag range (Aeropack, 1.1L TT bag, and 3.8L frame bag) is mounted.
I also have custom, 3D printed mount for my BC30 Fenix headlamp.
