Very beautiful people at the start. After Italy last year, the Gravel World Championships take place this Sunday, October 6, on a steep 181-kilometer course between Halle and Louvain in Belgium. And there will be several of them trying to succeed the Slovenian Matej Mohotic, himself a candidate for his own succession, with Tim Merlier, Tiesj Bennoot, Jasper Stuyven, without forgetting Mathieu van der Poel.
Dispossessed of his rainbow jersey last week by Tadej Pogacar, the Dutch runner will obviously be keen to redeem himself. But the competition promises to be strong, with the presence of pure specialists in the discipline born around fifteen years ago in the Midwest of the United States. It consists of driving mainly on unsealed roads.
And for this 3e edition, approximately 60% of the route will take place on unpaved paths with steep climbs, technical sections, forest paths and paved sectors. Far from being easy. And you will have to be strong and rely only on yourself to triumph.
