EPISODE 104 - Gravel Beef p/b Marginal Gains Prodigy Chase Wark

What up party people. We’ve got another banger for you this week after Dizzle got caught running his mouth again and stirred up a little bit of gravel beef after falling victim to gravel breakaway specialist and marginal gains newcomer, Chase Wark. Not originally selected for the Life Time Grand Prix, Chase found his way into the GP field after a handful of dropouts and is well on his way to being the 17th place runner up in this years series. Tune in to hear more beef and marginal gains geekery.
