UCI Gravel World Series: Adam Roberge and Haley Smith best in sprints for victories at Canada's OG Classique
Adam Roberge (Felt-ENVE) and Haley Smith (Factor Racing) claimed victory at the OG Classique on Sunday, a new round of the UCI Gravel World Series in Wakefield, Quebec.
Michael Woods (Ventum) took second in the men's elite race, which ended with a tight four-way sprint. Fiset Guillaume was third while Griffin Easter (OpiCure Foundation Gravel Team) came fourth.
In the elite women's race it was another charged battle to the line, with Dylan Baker coming second to Smith while it was third for Laetitia Bilodeau.
The race came a week after both victors had ridden the cancelled Canadian Gravel Championships. OG Classique was the first of two Canadian qualifiers in the GWS, the next being the Ghost of the Gravel in Alberta next week.
The weekend's 122km Quebec event delivered 1,676m of elevation gain through the rolling terrain of the Outaouais region on a route in the Gatineau Hills that was more than 70% gravel. The start/finish area was located at Centre Vorlage ski and mountain bike resort.
