In this episode, we sit down with Robin Gemperle, winner of the 2025 Silk Road Mountain Race. Finishing in 6 days, 20 hours and 36 minutes, Robin set the pace from the very start, steadily building a gap that no one could close.

At just 29 years old, the Swiss rider has quickly established himself among the very best in the sport, with a palmarès that includes the Atlas Mountain Race, Transcontinental Race, and a sub-12 day Tour Divide. Now he adds a win at Silk Road Mountain Race to that list.

Recorded the day after his finish, Robin shares his reflections on his winning ride.
