Noemie Thomson (Das Hutchinson) and Jenson Young (Ribble Outliers) rode to victory at Graean Cymru, both carving out a gap of around a minute to their nearest rivals to claim the top spot on the elite podiums at the UCI Gravel World Series round in Wales.
On Saturday Thomson, 22, took off with 30km of the 111km race to go. The former triathlete, who is only in her first full cycling season, extended her impressive shift into road racing through to the gravel as she crossed the line ahead of Picnic Post NL's Abi Smith in second. Taking third, behind the two British riders, it was gravel professional Morgan Aguirre (PAS Racing) from the United States.
