Gravel pirates set sail on the gravel seas of Nebraska at the 10th edition of Gravel Worlds p/b Lauf on Saturday. With a sold-out field, everyone was sure to get a tough challenge in the 150-mile race, and at the pointy ends of the race, there was a close finish and a new supreme Captain of the Gravel Seas.
Alison Tetrick came in as the two-time defending champion and left with her third-straight win, a new sword and the all-time race record for Open wins. She was followed by Jennifer Schwarz in second and Anya Bogdanets in third, with Abby ShelekBriski and Carrie Bax rounding out the wide-angle podium.
The Men’s race came down to a sprint, with Lincoln native John Borstelmann topping Eric Marcotte at the line. Tristan Uhl finished third, and Mat Stephens and Brendan Housler rounded out the wide-angle podium.
Top 25 results are below. Full results are also available for all distances and categories.
