Brendan Johnston (Giant-SRAM) repeated as the elite men’s winner at Gravelista, while Sharlotte Lucas (Liv) earned the elite women’s division at the Australian round of the UCI Gravel World Series event in Seymour, Victoria.
After wrapping up a ninth-place finish in the Life Time Grand Prix a week earlier at Big Sugar Classic in Arkansas, Johnston went to work on home terrain to defend his title in Seymour. He managed to hold off Australian gravel champion Mark O’Brien across the 135km route by just three seconds, finishing in 3:46:57. Kevin Biffiger finished 1:16 back for third, with Tasman Nankervis 19 seconds back in fourth place.
