The first ever UCI Gravel World Championships will be held this weekend, with the rainbow bands on offer for the first time for racing across on the surface.

On Saturday, 48 elite women will compete for the first world title in the discipline, before 138 men do the same on Sunday. The women will race an 140km course with 69% gravel and 700 meters of elevation gain, while the men tackle 194km with 800 meters of climbing. That race has 36% unpaved roads, 18% hard gravel, 1% cobbles, 17% hard surface and 27% asphalt.

Adam is Cycling Weekly’s news editor – his greatest love is road racing but as long as he is cycling on tarmac, he's happy. Before joining Cycling Weekly he spent two years writing for Procycling, where he interviewed riders and wrote about racing. He's usually out and about on the roads of Bristol and its surrounds. Before cycling took over his professional life, he covered ecclesiastical matters at the world’s largest Anglican newspaper and politics at Business Insider. Don't ask how that is related to cycling.
