Martin Stošek achieved an impressive victory at the 2024 UEC Gravel European Championships, showcasing dominance in the men's elite category with a solo effort over 153 km.
The unexpected win came after pre-race favorite Gianni Vermeersch faced two mechanical issues, allowing Stošek to break away from the leading group and secure his title.
Despite not being among the road racing stars, Stošek's mountain biking background proved vital as he navigated the challenging Veneto region course, marked by gravel laps.
This championship marks the first qualifying round for next year's rainbow jersey, with Stošek now succeeding Jasper Stuyven as the European Gravel Champion.
