The BIGGEST UCI Gravel race: Marly Grav in Valkenburg. 2500 riders, 3x up the Cauberg, dusty gravel, crashes, bottlenecks, punchy climbs, and almost five hours of full-gas gravel racing.
This UCI Gravel World Series qualifier was a key race on my road to the UCI Gravel World Championships. I came in chasing the win to get the priority box for Worlds, and my best gravel result yet. Until WorldTour pro Florian Vermeersch came flying past and blew the race apart!
