CONGRATULATIONS SOPHIE 🎉

Second UCI gold of the year for Sophie Wright, and another huge result for the Ribble Outliers.

This weekend Sophie won the women's UCI 130km race at the Wish One Millau Grands Causses, one of the toughest rounds on the UCI Gravel World Series.

The course gives you nowhere to hide. Out of Millau and up the Pouncho d'Agast, into the wild Larzac tracks, then the exposed military camp section. It was there, with 70km still to ride, that Sophie made her move and went clear.
From that point, she rode the rest of the way alone, all the way to the finish on the plateau above the viaduct, crossing the line in 4:35:25, 23 minutes ahead of Sofia Schugar in second.

Sophie spent the final 70km riding alone to take the top step on the podium.

Next up: Luxembourg, where Sophie lines up alongside fellow Outliers Abi Smith and Jenson Young at UCI Eislek Gravel next weekend.
