Just a week after Keegan Swenson won his third Leadville Trail 100 MTB in succession with a record-breaking win, he continued his dominant run of results taking the win at the SBT GRVL. The Leadville Women's winner Sofía Gómez Villafañe also continued her hot run of form by taking the win on the champagne gravel of Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
SBT GRVL has quickly become one of the best US gravel events, known for being a race that prioritizes diversity and inclusion. SBT works closely with a body-positivity advocacy group called All Bodies on Bikes, who aim to welcome everyone into cycling, making sure that people have clothing, gear, and equipment and also feel empowered to ride regardless of what their body looks like. With over three thousand riders across the four racing distances, the aim of inclusivity looked to have been achieved as riders set out from the mountain town of Steamboat Springs in northern Colorado and into ranch territory on the stunning gravel tracks of the region.
