The momentum for Emily Newsom (PAS Racing) to remove the word 'mediocre' from her vocabulary begins this weekend at Santa Vall, the first event with bonus scores at the Gravel Earth Series. She was sixth overall at the Spanish gravel race, which this year is a two-day stage race with close to 200 kilometres.
PAS Racing brings a full arsenal for the European start of gravel racing, with 15 of 16 riders confirmed on the start list. Only newcomer Cecily Decker, the US rider who won The Rift last year, will be absent. Karolina Migoń, who was eighth in Girona last year and won the season title for the Gravel Earth Series, returns, and this time Morgan Aguirre, who was third at Santa Vall and in the GES standings, has been added to the PAS roster.
