(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/newjerseylocalne/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114At the Garmin Unbound Gravel presented by Craft in downtown Emporia, Kansas, Dutchman Ivar Slik beat out Keegan Swenson and defending winner Ian Boswell to win the men’s 200-mile event. Defending champion Laurens ten Dam, who finished second to Boswell in last year’s two-up sprint, finished in fourth place, seven seconds back of the winner in this year’s photo finish. Vermeulen, who won the Belgian Waffle Ride California in 2022, finished in fifth place,<\/p>\n
As a major aim of mine this year, I was ecstatic. A little amount of luck goes a long way in this world, where so much can happen. I arrived in the best shape possible. Slik said it was “amazing” to win in a sprint of five, his third gravel race of the season.
\nWhen Slik raced Rule of Three in Bentonville, Arkansas, he suffered a late puncture and was unable to compete. He finished second this year at Gravel Locos.<\/p>\n

Swenson will most likely keep his overall lead in the Life Time Grand Prix series with a second-place finish at Unbound, following his triumph in the opening round at Sea Otter Classic. Even while the heavy muck on the 200-mile southern route posed no major obstacles for the 2021 men’s champion of the USA Cycling<\/a> Pro Mountain Bike Cross-Country Tour, it was the sprint on pavement and the powerful kick by Slik that prevented him from becoming a two-time champion.<\/p>\n After the second checkpoint, a quartet of riders had broken away from the pack: Slik, Boswell, Swenson, and Vermeulen. The four leaders rode together, overtaking a long line of cyclists en route to the finish line of the 100-mile race as they alternated at the front of the pack on flat, hard-packed dirt roads. With Ten Dam in hot pursuit, Peter Stetina and Rob Britton teamed up for the chase.<\/p>\n Read More: <\/strong>Tui Holidays Cancelled: As Tui Cancels an Unexpected 180 Flights, Travellers Describe Their Wasted Vacations!<\/a><\/p>\n With only 15 kilometers remaining,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ten Dam had made his way back to the front group after passing Stetina and Britton at mile 186. It was down to a five-person lead pack for the last 24 miles of racing through Emporia State University and into downtown Emporia after nine hours of racing on a road riddled with puddles in every pothole.<\/p>\nThere Are 15 Kilometers to Go.<\/h2>\n
