It was a long solo effort for men’s Dirty Warrny victor Tim Cutler, while in the women’s race, it was a battle till the end for Matilda Raynolds, who gapped last year’s winner Courtney Sherwell on the run into the line of the 246km Australian gravel event.
The pair had also gone toe to toe at the Gravelista World Series event in Beechworth, just two weeks ago, but this time the order of the top two steps in the women's category was reversed. That gave Raynolds a Dirty Warrny title to add to her two victories at the road race which inspired the gravel event, the long-running Melbourne to Warrnambool.
