It was another Australian UCI Gravel World Series round victory for Brendan Johnston (Giant) and Talia Appleton (Praties) with the Gravelista winners striking again at Devils Cardigan Tasmania to claim the sack of potatoes and handmade wooly cardigan winners trophy to keep them warm at the celebrations at the pub in Derby on Saturday evening.
Johnston finished the 106km men's race in three hours and 24 minutes to snag the winner's trophy – a sack of potatoes and handmade wooly cardigan winners to keep the celebrating riders warm at the pub in Derby on Saturday evening. The defending champion crossed the line a little more than three minutes ahead of 2022 winner Tasman Nankervis with Scott Bowden (Giant x Shimano) just a further minute back in third while new Australian gravel champion Mark O'Brien was just behind in fourth.
