A minimum 80% gravel and relentless elevation are the promises coming out of Nannup, Australia, where this year's historic UCI Gravel World Championships will be held.
The event, held on the weekend of 10-11 October, will be the first time the Gravel Worlds have been held outside of Europe, and course details have now been revealed by cycling's world governing body. The organisers are billing the races as offering "wide gravel roads, breathtaking climbs and encounters with iconic Australian wildlife" – although the riders will presumably be hoping those encounters aren't too close, at least during the racing.
