Toms Skujins (Trek-Segafredo) and Tiffany Cromwell (Canyon-SRAM) won the inaugural Finland Gravel race, known as FNLD GRVL, on Saturday across the 177km ‘Midnight Sun’ route.
For Cromwell, it was her fourth victory on gravel in four events, having won a week ago at Unbound Gravel 100. Her solo victory in Emporia, Kansas came across a wet and muddy course and a massive margin of more than 25 minutes over second-placed Maria Doering. The Australian dominated the field again but this time by slightly under nine minutes on dry double track and wide gravel roads that wound past freshwater lakes and dense forests north of Lahti, Finland. She finished in a time of 5:14:00.
