The cycling season has almost reached its end, and some big names of the peloton are travelling to the United States to participate in Big Sugar Gravel. Bora-Hansgrohe riders Jordi Meeus and Cian Uijtdebroeks will be riding for the first time, whereas Kasper Asgreen, Ilan van Wilder and Mattia Cattaneo are already familiar with the race format and have some experience. The gravel race is part of the LifeTime Grand Prix.
Those who place best over the six races will get an opportunity to share a very nice prize pool of $250,000. But the ride is not going to be an easyone. Gravel specialists such as Laurens ten Dam, Keegan Swenson, Lachlan Morton, Logan Owen and Peter Stetina will also make an appearance in the race.
But this does not stop Uijtdebroeks from enjoying the race. Uijtdebroeks is very excited about his professional debut in gravel racing. "It's fantastic to be in America. We are very curious to go offroad. Jordi and I are going to ride a gravel race for the first time. We are very motivated and are really looking forward to it. The weather is already very good. Let's go for it, come on,” said Uijtdebroeks.

- I didn't know there was a problem in Italian cycling. Sure, there hasn't been an Italian win a grand tour in recent years, but if we are using that as a metric, then every country in the world other than Slovenia and Denmark are in big trouble!Pogboom26-11-2024

- Here he is again, giving real answers! Love it. As a fan, I had not really paid attention but agree with what he says. Between Pogacar and van der Poel, with their attacks from 50k and more, the racing is simply different. At the grand tours, it's that kind of attacking every day, as well (e.g., even when he didn't want to, other teams goaded Pogacar into racing for the win at the Tour). I can imagine how hard that is for a rider, but for me as a fan it's certainly a lot of fun to watch.RidesHills25-11-2024
- Wrong, CrashJames. Frankie a ringleader of the Motorola doping scheme along with Armstrong. Armstrong made his career. And Lemond--you are still clinging to his miracle of "iron injections"? Bless your heart.
MarkFour25-11-2024 - Wrong. Bassons himself said that leaving pro cycling was the best thing that ever happened to him. You don't belong in these comments, or anywhere near a bike.MarkFour25-11-2024
- Agree, it is incomplete to omit the doped peloton. Lance was just better at it, a bigger liar, and vindictively went after people to protect the secret. Look how many results had to be restated, where other riders were also stripped of their results, and the problems ex us postal riders faced because their doping programs were not as good as postal. Why we continue to spend any time on this a$$h0le is beyond me.Crashjames25-11-2024
