Daniel Oss on Gravel Worlds - "This is the new world of riding the bike"

Daniel Oss missed the opportunity to become the winner of the first UCI Gravel World Championships and had to satisfy himself with the second-best position. Instead of being disappointed by not winning, he focused on the many positives that the race brought.
“We are here really to discover, I think, a new world. A new way of riding a bike,” he told Velonews. He continues, “Nobody knows at the start line what is going to happen, and we discover kilometre by kilometre. The rule is attack, because when you don’t know what you can do, just attack and look at what is going on.”
He and Gianni Vermeersch were leading the race, but with eight kilometres to go, Vermeersch launched his attack and left Oss behind to defend the second position. “This is new. I had really nice company during this long, long breakaway, I think it was the longest in my life. But he was stronger, just this. So he deserved it. He went out in the technical part in the last 10k, really bumpy, and I was crampy, and my head was a bit foggy. But I am really happy.” said the TotalEnergies rider. He concluded with, “The message, really, is this is the new world of riding the bike.”
