The prediction for another sprint involving past Unbound Gravel 200 champions Sofia Gomez Villafañe (Specialized Off-road) and Rosa Klöser (Canyon-SRAM-MAAP) to settle podium spots in another elite women's finish in Emporia, Kansas turned out to be true, but this time not able to reach the top spot.
Their decisive sprint this year played out with Villafañe edging most-recent champion Klöser for third place, then Cecile Lejeune in fifth and 2021 winner Lauren De Crescenzo in sixth.
