The 108km Schw\u00f6rerHaus Hegau Gravel Race in Singen came down to a tight battle in both the elite men’s and women’s categories on Sunday, with Petr Vakoc (Factor Racing) and Nele Laing (Canyon DTSwiss ATR) claiming the wins at the German round of the Gravelking UCI Gravel World Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It came down to a sprint for Vakoc with the Czech rider, who has so often been on the podium this year, claiming his first UCI series top step of the season with a two second gap in the elite men’s race to Simon Pellaud (Li Ning Star) in second. Jordy Bouts (The Grip) then claimed third in a group sprint, 1:55 after Vakoc had crossed the line with a time of 3:09:29.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the elite women’s category it was a first UCI Gravel World Series win ever for Laing as the rider who has been one of the rising stars of the season crossed the line after 3:37:01 with a four second gap to her Canyon DTSwiss ATR teammate Larissa Hartog. Eisen Malou (Volker Wessels Wielerteam), who was last month third on the road at the Lotto Th\u00fcringen women’s cycling challenge, was also third on the gravel as she crossed the line 3:35 back.<\/p>\n
