Keep training. Equipment will only help so much. A lot of focus on aero right now but can you make the same amount of power in your most aero position as you can in your most powerful position? Most folks cannot do it and it is a thing to work on when you are on the trainer. Also the rides where I am fastest I typically do not put out the most NP or AP but I feel fast due to the nature of weather, drafting, etc. I may have a "slow” ride mph/kph wise and am cooked and sad at the end but then see numbers I haven’t seen all season so some of it is being efficient and not wasting energy. As for tires the G One RX is a huge hitter in my local scene with many riders going for the 45 or 50 on the Checkpoints. I have ridden the RS in a 40, Terra Speeds in 45, and Burts in 2.1 and all of these are miles above the stock tires so you really cannot go wrong with a fast rated gravel tire.
