In an unprecedented and thrilling finish at the Unbound Gravel Race, the women's elite competition culminated in a nine-person sprint, a first in the race's history. The victor came as a surprise, with German rider Rosa Klöser clinching one of the most coveted titles on the calendar just 2.5 years after taking up cycling.
"I started cycling only 2.5 years ago so that probably also why no one really knows me,” Klöser commented with a laugh. "Actually I am still a full-time PhD [student] and do cycling, or professional racing, part time. The Unbound victory is amazing. I still don’t believe it."
