Bottas, however, finished second in his age group, allowing him to climb the podium.

What an event yesterday! Enjoyed my first gravel race a lot. Ended up 5th out of 500+ riders on the line for the 64mile red course, and 2nd in my age group @tiffanycromwell was a hero again completing the black course in women’s top 10 #VB77 #sbtgrvl pic.twitter.com/QkUqPRIP1o
