UCI Gravel World Series
Annual series of gravel cycling races
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The UCI Gravel World Series is a season-long series of races in gravel cycling, organised by the UCI. First held in the 2022 , the format is similar to mass participation road events in Gran Fondo or cyclosportive fashion where several age categories as well as Elite Men and Women take part. Each race serves as the qualification venue for UCI Gravel World Championships and the top 25% of each race in each category are qualified for the UCI Gravel World Championships at the end of the season.
