    1. This is not "gravel" — what a joke. I'd like to see these road riders try five minutes worth of true gravel in the US or Canada. This is just a road race ridden on some well maintained dirt roads.

    2. Fun fact: No one of the gravel riders that participated in the race yesterday, like myself, complained that it wasn’t a Gravel Race. Only people who saw it on screen. 😃

    3. Valtteri, let Mathieu pass for the championship, let Mathieu pass for the championship.
      The one and only reason, why Valtteri didn't win the race.

    4. Between cyclocross and races like strde bianche, there is a very small room left to create a new bike discipline…Gravel competitions are organised for marketing reasons.

    5. Love watching Americans realise they can't just keep inventing sports and claiming to be World Champs. People who have to push themselves against the best competition will always win as soon as they transfer across to a low participation sport even when they are not a specialist at it.

    6. While I agree with the sentiment to an extent, the UCI should run a worlds on an American gravel course, this course is kind of the nature of gravel riding in a lot of low and Europe, linking sections of forests, farmland and parks scattered between populated areas. So let's embrace all aspects of the event. That said I think someone who's won MSR, Paris Roubaix and finished the Giro and Tour in the same year is pretty good at riding really really far. Of course he could win unbound. It's not like asking him to beat Swenson at 10,000ft.

    7. I watched the entire race and needed to routinely turn off the volume. The commentators are clueless and painful to listen to and I would like them to find a different career. I still enjoyed the race and was happy to see so many fans onsite.

    8. @UCI, you guys are the WORLD cycling federation. Why are you‘re world-Championship highlight worse than 3. league german soccer?
      These are not even Highlights, it‘s just a cut with original tone…

    9. Glad I didn't watch the race in full. The commentators absolutely do my head in. Straight from the Sean Kelly school of narration – add nothing of any value whatsoever and drone on constantly putting into words what is too obvious to bother mentioning.
