Sofia Gomez, Unbound Gravel 200 winner from 2022 fought against the mud and the fray. The 29-year old Argentian battled to second place, 15 minutes behind the winner Caroline Schiff.  

"I think anybody that finished, it's a huge achievement. It was crazy," Gomez told Cyclingnews an hour after the finish.

“It wasn't my best day, but I gave it everything I got and to walk away with second, it's pretty solid. But I think I'm definitely ready to have a women's-only race for sure,” said Gomez.

"For me, equality doesn't mean that I can do the same thing as a man. For me, equality means having equal opportunity for us to show what we're capable of. And I think the race here is still too long, that we don't have the strength in numbers to be out there for 12,13, 14 hours. So I think I would advocate for a shorter race."
