Ana Luisa Panini (ACPH Komprao) and Henrique Avancini (Localiza Meoo-Swift) claimed the UCI Gravel World Series<\/a> in Brazil, both claiming the event solo with substantial winning margins.<\/p>\n

Panini laid down the attack at 58km into the 115 km event to go solo, finishing more than three minutes ahead of second-placed Ana Paula Finco Silva (Soul Extreme Racing) and 6:38 ahead of Madeleine Nutt (Lauf-Q36.5).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn’t expect to be at this level. Beating the international riders is very difficult,” said Panini in a media release from race organisers. “I prepared very well for the last three months to achieve the best possible result.\u201d<\/p>\n

Avancini \u2013 who was racing just his second gravel event.\u2013 carved out an even bigger gap, with UCI Gravel World Series organisers outlining in a social media post that it was the largest winning margin in the elite men’s category in a series race, eclipsing the nine minute advantage Wout van Aert had carved out at Houffa Gravel in 2023.<\/p>\n

Joaquin Plomer Vilotta (Litoviedo Bikes) was second while Vitor Eduardo Dos Santos Prado Correa Pompeu (Soul Extreme Racing) was third.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an extremely tough race, very challenging due to the high temperatures. I was surprised by my time, but happy to win here in Cambori\u00fa and in my country,” Avancini, who made his gravel debut at the UCI World Championships last year, said in a media release.<\/p>\n

“It’s the start of the season for me; I did the Tour of Rwanda last week, so I didn’t know how my body would respond. I’ll do one or two more races on the Gravel World Tour, and with my spot secured for the World Championships in Australia in October, I’ll be able to prepare more calmly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The race which started and finished in Camboriu played out on a course with nearly 2,000 m of elevation gain and it is the first of the events for this season in the region, with another South American nation, Argentina, hosting a series event at the end of March while it will be Colombia’s turn in May with Gravel Bogota and then again in August with Gravel Medellin while Chile will take a turn in September.<\/p>\n
