Lauren De Crescenzo and her tough decision to miss UCI Gravel World Championships

I competed in the first-ever 2022 UCI Gravel World Championships in Veneto, Italy. Back then, I wasn’t racing as a privateer, I was part of a team, which helped ease the logistical burden of racing in Europe.

They handled the essentials – travel planning, bike shipping, and in-race support – so I could focus on what I do best, racing my bike.
