Valtteri Bottas and Tiffany Cromwell will organize a new three-day gravel event in Australia as a part of Tour Down Under event

Valtteri Bottas will bring brand-new cycling event to Adelaide next January as part of the traditional road season opener, the Tour Down Under event. Bottas and his partner Tiffany Cromwell, co-owners in the GRVL cycling series, will host the inaugural RADL GRVL from January 18-20.

"I’ve enjoyed some very memorable gravel rides around Adelaide and McLaren Vale over the last few years, so when the opportunity arose to bring an event to the area I was fully committed," said Bottas about the Australian roads.

"Last June I had the chance to introduce the gravel cycling community to the riding around my hometown of Lahti, Finland at FNLD GRVL, and this year I’m excited that Tiffany gets to do the same around her backyard of South Australia," Bottas remembers the success of the event.

The three-day event begins with a ‘shake-out’ ride before a competitive day in McLaren Vale on Day 2. A recovery ride then follows, ending with a watch party on Wilunga Hill to coincide with Stage 5 of the Tour Down Under.
