Laurens Ten Dam is one of the more articulate Dutch riders of his generation — a Tour de France GC top-10 finisher with Belkin and CCC, and now a serious gravel privateer who has finished Unbound, raced the Migration Gravel Race, and built one of the most-watched amateur gravel YouTube channels. His Live Slow Ride Fast podcast, co-hosted with Stefan Bolt, is one of the longest-running cycling podcasts in Europe. For amateurs interested in the transition from road racing to gravel and ultra-endurance — and the realities of training as a near-50 ex-pro — his content is exceptional.
The major positions Dam is known for in cycling and endurance sport.
