He was using different tyres on the race, right?

Small chain ring would be the biggest weakness

[Fedelia]

I just love bikes that are fun almost everywhere, can switch surfaces/conditio anytime, and I try not to share space with cars.

So my choices are always gravel for fast and XC/DC for more rugged/hilly/offroad :)

Of course I will never be the fastest on tarmac or the best on gnarly downhill, but thats fine with me.

I raced a few crits on a Kona Jake the Snake back in 2004. Road tyres, road gearing, fared pretty good.

So the answer was no.
Gravel bike - the second best bike for all terrains.
