UCI Gravel World Series: Winning runs for world champion Lorena Wiebes and Belgian champion Niels Vandeputte at Eislek Gravel Luxembourg

Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) and Niels Vandeputte (Alpecin-Premier Tech) scored wins at Eislek Gravel in Luxembourg on Sunday, with the gravel World Champion winning the elite women’s race solo. The Belgian National Champion grabbed his first gravel victory of the year at the UCI Gravel World Series race in a sprint showdown.

Wiebes finished ahead of last week’s Wish One winner Sophie Wright (Ribble Outliers) while SD Worx Protime teammate Femke Gerritse was third in the race. It was the second GWS victory of the season for Wiebes.

The second edition of Eislek Gravel was one of four qualifiers across the globe on busy gravel weekend, with Devils Cardigan in Australia, the OG Classique in Canada and Grand Tour 3 Cime Lavaredo in Italy. The top 25% of competitors in each series race qualify for the Gravel World Championships in Nannup, Western Australian on October 10-11.
