Gravel Worlds in Australia! I have no idea what this race is going to look like. I’ll just wake up at 4 am to watch it and figure it out 😅 Really curious... Gravel has been growing like crazy in the cycling market, with more bikes, more races and more riders getting into it every year. But at the very top of the UCI, it still feels like it is trying to find its place. This is only the fifth edition of the Worlds, and the first one outside Europe. Some riders are even having to fund their own travel and equipment to get to Australia 🤯 About the racing itself… it has little to do with any other race or discipline on paper. Road pros, gravel specialists (if there is such a thing), different teams, different loyalties… and probably some very strange tactics.
