Romy Kasper (PAS Racing) and Andreas Stokbro Nielsen (Swatt Club) claimed inaugural wins at the new UCI Gravel World Series<\/a> race in Northern Denmark, The Wolf.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s event took place in wet conditions at times on a 54km loop, with the elite men tackling three laps and the elite women racing two laps of the terrain, which varied from wide, fast gravel sectors to more challenging forest roads. There was also a technical section early on that passed the moat of Voergaard Castle, which split the field.<\/p>\n

Stokbro Nielsen claimed the elite men’s race with a 50-second gap to Gustav Frederik Dahl (Team Give Steel) in second. He had sprinted to victory just ahead of Rasmus B\u00f8gh Wallin (Team Cranks), who completed the Danish podium sweep.<\/p>\n

“Winning the UCI Gravel World Series race The Wolf in the very north of Denmark after 20 km solo in tough, wet and windy conditions. Exactly my kind of racing!” said Kasper in an Instagram post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
