In France, it was a newcomer to the UCI Gravel World Series<\/a> that delivered one of the last qualifying rounds on Saturday, as Romain Bardet (Picnic-PostNL) and Axelle Dubau-Pr\u00e9v\u00f4t (Num\u00e9ro 31 par Caf\u00e9 du Cycliste) charged across the line in Les Angles to capture clear-cut victories at 66 Degr\u00e9s Sud – Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es Catalanes Gravel Tour.<\/p>\n

Dubau-Pr\u00e9v\u00f4t delivered a time of 4:14:07 on the 110km course in the Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es with over 2,000 metres of climbing, finishing more than four minutes ahead of her nearest rival in the elite women’s category, Houffa Gravel winner Nicole Frain (Ridley Racing). Karolina Migo\u0144 (PAS Racing) was less than four minutes further back in third.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bardet<\/a> won his second UCI gravel series event, the retired WorldTour racer taking victory at Monsterrando in Italy \u2013 covering the course in 3:34:34. He was nearly five minutes faster than runner-up Hugo Drechou (Num\u00e9ro 31 par Caf\u00e9 du Cycliste) while Adne Koster (Giant Liv Benelux Offroad) was 51 seconds further back. Petr Vakoc (Canyon) managed to fight his way back to fourth after an ill-timed puncture.<\/p>\n
