UEC Gravel European Championships

The 2024 UEC Gravel European Championships will take place in Asiago, Italy. Participants at the start in Veneto can immediately qualify for the 2025 UCI Gravel World Championships in Nice. This makes Asiago 2024 the first qualifier on the calendar for the battle for the rainbow jersey in 2025, just one week after the 2024 World Championships.

On Sunday 13 October, we will discover the new European gravel champions in no fewer than 16 categories. All Elite riders and riders with a UCI ID who start in Asiago can immediately qualify for the 2025 UCI Gravel World Championships, which will be held in Nice.

Anyone finishing in the top 25% (based on the number of starters) of their age category in Asiago or at least the top 3 of every category can secure their ticket for Nice 2025 on the spot. This makes Asiago the first qualifier on the calendar and the only one in Europe before the end of this year. For those aiming for Nice 2025, participation in Asiago offers the chance to secure their spot a year in advance. Watch out, riders must finish the race to gain qualification.

Those without a UCI ID can enjoy a day of gravel riding in Asiago as well thanks to the Asiago Gravel Open Race, but since they are not competing for a European title, they logically cannot qualify for Nice 2025.

The course follows the best gravel roads of the famous Altipiano di Asiago, a special place for the Veneto Region thanks to its location in between the flat Pianura Veneta and the first mountain ranges. The route starts from the centre of Asiago. You will tackle some fast but fun climbing sectors alongside the famous Sacrario Militare di Asiago of the First World War, making a lap of the beautiful Golf Club of Asiago.

Belgian Jasper Stuyven was crowned 2023 men's champion and Lorena Wiebes from the Netherlands the women's champion.
