Karolina Migo\u0144 (PAS Racing) and Fabian Rabensteiner (Torpado Kenda FSA Factory) won the elite Grand Tour 3 Cime Lavaredo on Saturday, both winning solo at the Italian event which is one of four UCI Gravel World Series<\/a> races playing out over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Migo\u0144 came over the line over four and a half minutes ahead of UAE Team ADQ road pro Erica Magnaldi in the elite women’s race on the challenging course, where the climbing hits hard and early. Italian MTB Marathon champion Debora Piana was third.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The men’s race finish was a lot closer, with Leonardo Paez taking second in the men’s elite race in, just 26 seconds back on Rabensteiner, whilst Norway’s Eskil Evensen-Lie was third, a further two minutes down.<\/p>\n

Though it was a gravel race, most of the podium finishers came from a mountain bike background, with Rabensteiner and Piana both national XCM champions, testament to the mountainous course in the Dolomites.<\/p>\n

The 133km race with 3,200m of elevation gain started and finished in ski village of Auronzo di Cadore, with the first peak of the Danta di Cadore just 10km in and another where the ascending starts at 30km, the Klammbach peak, marking the high point of the race at 1,929m. After that the course flattened out a little but there was still another challenge at around the 100km mark, the Passo Tre Crocci.<\/p>\n
