Swiss riders Joel Roth (BIXS Race Team) and Elena Hartmann (RMV Chur) won the climbing-heavy Majestics Gravel race on home soil on Sunday, both using the main 26.5km ascent into the Vaud Alps on the back half of the race as the launching point of solo victories in the Gravelking UCI Gravel World Series event.
Roth launched his effort on the long climb from a reduced front group and rode 40km alone to finish in 3:35:28. Great Britain's Toby Perry (Reverb Cycling-3T) trailed 26 seconds later for second, pushing eight seconds ahead of Belgian Floris De Tier (Swatt Club). Swiss rider Kevin Kuhn (EF Education Nippo Development) was another 17 seconds back for fourth.
