Stetina, Villafañe top riders in BWR Tripel Crown as USA Crits road series heats up

Sweeping the three Belgian Waffle Ride events to start 2024, Sofia Gomez Villafañe (Specialized Off-road) captured the pro women’s title for the Tripel Crown of Gravel while Peter Stetina (Canyon) checked off one of his season objectives by securing the men’s pro Tripel Crown with a fourth-place finish at BWR California.

This year BWR California served as the decisive round in the Tripel Crown of Gravel, grouped with Arizona and Utah events on a more compact seven-week calendar. A series prize purse of $25,500 was split evenly between the top five men and top five women across the trio of waffle-distance races.
