People she knows call her ‘Gee’, but most people in the US were not familiar with Geerike Schreurs (SD Worx-Protime), or how to pronounce her name, until she hit the big time of gravel at the 2024 Life Time Unbound 200. A relative newcomer to gravel racing and a first-timer at Unbound, the Dutch rider finished second to winner Rosa Klöser, another debutant, in an exciting eight-rider sprint to the line in downtown Emporia, Kansas after 203 miles (327km).
Saturday’s fierce sprint, to end a race that played out over 10 hours, 26 minutes and two seconds, was also the fastest edition of Unbound Gravel’s north route which has been completed now three times.
