LISA BONE — WOMEN'S ELITE | 78km

135 women lined up in Fish Hoek at dawn.

Lisa Bone was among the favourites — but she'll tell you herself,
she didn't quite believe it yet.

"I still have to tell myself that I belong in the elite women's field."

Standing between her and the title:
→ Daria Pravilova — Russian Gravel World Champion
→ Kate Courtney — UCI MTB Marathon World Champion
→ Candice Lill — one of South Africa's greatest ever

But Bone and her Enza Construction Cycle Nation team had a plan.
They attacked on Smitswinkel. They fractured the peloton.
And when it came to the sprint on Helen Suzman Boulevard —
she'd already studied the wind. She knew exactly where to be.

She went left. She gave everything.
She won.

And finally — she belonged.

RYAN GIBBONS — MEN'S ELITE | 109km

A decade racing the hardest roads in Europe.
Then, in 2025, Ryan Gibbons came home.

Not just geographically — but to himself.

The crashes. The crosswinds on the Southern Peninsula.
A breakaway that pushed the peloton to its limits.
Four riders clear over Suikerbossie — and Gibbons knew
he had to go early or risk losing the sprint.

"I knew I had the advantage. But the other guys knew it too."

He went. He raised his arms. He nearly paid for it.
Terlouw closed. Schutte right behind.

But the line came fast enough.

One race. After everything. The last trophy his palmarès was missing.
