The Gravel Earth Series referred to Ranxo Gravel as 'the final dance', since it wrapped up the 23-event collection of global contests for a series overall titles. It was also the final dance of a 20-year professional career for Nathan Haas.
"It's a weird feeling coming up to my last bike race as a professional. It is my first one in, well, first international bike race in 2006, that's 20 years ago. Long time to be doing the same thing. It's been great," Haas announced with a video on his Instagram account just a few days before taking the start at Ranxo Gravel on Sunday.
