At "The Hills" Gravel Race in Susegana, north of Venice, Nino Schurter delivered an impressive performance in his gravel debut, finishing fifth in a field of top international riders. The winner of the 124-kilometer main race was American Bradyn Lange. Schurter wasn't the only mountain biker among the participants. Former cross-country specialist Hugo Drechou (7th/FRA), Fabian Rabensteiner (10th/ITA), and Bixs rider Joel Roth (12th/SUI) are just a few of the prominent names familiar from the mountain biking circuit.
