Romain Bardet Dominates 66 Degreés Sud - Pyreneés Catalans Gravel Tour

In an impressive display of gravel racing, Romain Bardet clinched victory at the 66 Degreés Sud - Pyreneés Catalans Gravel Tour. The French cyclist completed the gruelling course in 3 hours, 34 minutes, and 34 seconds, securing his second UCI Gravel World Series event win this season.

Bardet's performance was not just a personal triumph, but a testament to his endurance and skill. He finished nearly five minutes ahead of runner-up Hugo Drechou, with Adne Koster taking third place, 51 seconds behind Bardet.

Meanwhile, in the elite women's category, Axelle Dubau-Prévôt emerged victorious, crossing the finish line in 4 hours, 14 minutes, and 7 seconds. Dubau-Prévôt's dominance was evident as she finished more than four minutes ahead of her nearest rival, Nicole Frain.

The women's race saw a shake-up, with Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, the winner of the previous women's race at the 66 Degreés Sud - Pyreneés Catalans Gravel Tour, not participating in the UCI Gravel World Series event. Instead, Karolina Migon took the third place podium spot with a time of 8 hours, 2 minutes.

Petr Vakoc and Nils Brun also made their mark in the men's category, finishing fourth and fifth respectively. Vakoc clocked a time of 5 hours, 36 minutes, while Brun completed the race in 5 hours, 49 minutes.

The 66 Degreés Sud - Pyreneés Catalans Gravel Tour is one of the final qualifiers for the UCI Gravel World Series World Championships in Bolero. Dubau-Prévôt and her fellow Frenchwoman, Dorian Gordon, have already secured their spots after winning the first French series race of the season, Wish One Millau Grands Causses.

Bardet's victory at 66 Degreés Sud - Pyreneés Catalans Gravel Tour follows his win at another UCI gravel series event, Monsterrando in Italy. At Monsterrando, Bardet was nearly five minutes faster than runner-up Drechou, demonstrating his consistent form and competitive edge.

As the gravel racing season continues, Bardet and Dubau-Prévôt will undoubtedly be ones to watch. Their impressive performances at the 66 Degreés Sud - Pyreneés Catalans Gravel Tour have solidified their positions as formidable competitors in the UCI Gravel World Series.
