The road never ends for Thomas De Gendt — it just changes terrain. In this episode, the Belgian breakaway legend shares how he got into cycling, his rise through the pro ranks, and what led him to embrace gravel racing.

We take a deep dive into his trademark move: the breakaway. From the mental battles to the physical demands, Thomas explains what it really takes to escape the peloton and why a breakaway win feels unlike any other.

Of course, we also talk nutrition — how his fueling strategy evolved over the years and the best nutrition advice he ever received.
