2022 UCI Gravel World Championships Elite Start Lists
News broke this week about Mathieu Van Der Poel deciding to race Gravel Worlds, everyone started asking the question, who else is racing? The start list just appeared just a couple of days ahead of the race taking place on October 8th women’s race and October 9th men's race
The race itself presents an interesting opportunity for riders in the gravel world to show themselves against some of the worlds top riders such as MVDP, and Peter Sagan. Further more the race also may settle the score as to the level of competition of world tour professionals vs gravel riders. The 194km course is mostly flat, and with no dominant teams in the race will likely be a race of great positioning and following moves. Look for MVDP to blow the race up earlier than expected and try to whittle down the competition far out from the line.
In the Women Elite category on Saturday, the multi-talented Pauline Ferrand Prevot from France, vying to win another world title along with former short track world champ Sina Frei, and Unbound champ Sofia Gomez Villafañe, who will be racing for Argentina. WorldTour pros Tiffany Cromwell, and Letizia Borghesi and Barbara Guarischi will race for Australia and Italy, respectively; Trek-Segafredo has confirmed that Elisa Longo Borghini will not be racing.
The USA will be represented by a strong squad of women who race gravel domestically, including EF Education-TIBCO-SVB’s Emily Newsom and Lauren Stephens, as well as current Gravel Worlds champion Lauren De Crescenzo and her Cinch teammate Holly Matthews. Multi-discipline star and fan favorite Sarah Sturm rounds out Team USA.
The Men Elite race on Sunday sees all-rounder Mathieu van der Poel take on former MTB marathon World Champion Alban Lakata and road specialists Peter Sagan, Greg Van Avermaet, Alexey Lutsenko, newly crowned U23 road world champion Yevgeniy Fedorov, Magnus Cort Nielsen, Zdenek Štybar, Davide Ballerini, Daniel Oss, Lilian Calmejane, Carlos Verona and Alessandro De Marchi…
