Jewbacca Posted October 8, 2022 Share PFP wins her 4th rainbow jersey in a 4th discipline in 2022. Add road and CX and she has a rainbow jersey in 6 different categories..... Class PhilipV and Spookie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbean Posted October 8, 2022 Share SA mens team for tomorrow. Difficult for organisers to manage start grid since it’s first World gravel champs. You have riders that have qualified thru the gravel series,road racers with lots of uci points and ex world,CX etc champs.You then have riders who have not qualified or any uci points but are deemed good enough by their respective cycling body to attend (They won the local gravel champs in their country against a bunch of toppies with day jobs so are definitely ready for Worlds.) I think the UCI points system for start grid is fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbr Posted October 8, 2022 Share And I thought she was done last year after getting destroyed by young Lecomte repeatedly… what an insane achievement from Pfp Fred van Vlaanderen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JA-Q001 Posted October 8, 2022 Share I must say, even without a huge climb etc… this route really is what I think of when I think gravel. It would be boring on a mtb and too tough on a road bike. I would love to ride that route. Fred van Vlaanderen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No argument that it would be fun as like an urban gravel route on a weekend ride. But for me gravel is actual gravel roads requiring tires wider than 30c, corrugations, long distances and stupid ascent. But each to their own… Rowl, Mark James and RustyHWR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could have done better. That’s not really representative of true gravel racing. I do however think the outcome of the winner in the womens race probably would have been the same either way 😂 pfp is on fire, very well deserved.

Whilst the course may not have been true "gravel", I did enjoy the coverage, that dude who rode the bike following the breakaway bunch had some tricky riding to do, not to mention the camera-man who did a great job over his shoulder!!! I see big opportunities for lightweight stabilisation rigs for these bike-mounted TV cameras tho!
