Matthew Holmes (OGT-Orientation Marketing) and Geerike Schreurs (SD Worx-Protime) claimed victory at The Gralloch UCI Gravel World Series round on Saturday, with both riders breaking away from their rivals in the dry and fast conditions of the race which started and finished in the Dumfries and Galloway town of Gatehouse of Fleet.

Holmes – a former road professional who beat Richie Porte to the line at the top of Willunga Hill to claim stage 6 of the Tour Down Under in 2020 – made his move 25km from the finish line of the 111km race and took the solo victory a minute-and-a-half ahead of the a chasing group of six. Nathan Haas (Colnago) won the sprint for the minor placings, taking second ahead of Petr Vakoč (Canyon CLLCTV Gravel).
