• Anyone actually know what this gravel is like? I mean is it Strada Bianchi compressed crusher dust or is it little bastard baby head stuff you'd prefer a mountain bike on?

  • The gravel in Serbia looks pretty tame. There are some videos on youtube if you search for whatever the place is called. It looks nothing like as hard as the Sarajevo control appeared to be last year.

    Who knows what there is at Alpe d'Huez.

  • CP2 parcours will start at Bosilegrad, Serbia and follow the 442 toward the summit of Besna Kobila, the route is mostly gravel of various grades. Please note the parcours leads riders up close to the weather station at the summit [42.529523, 22.230117] past the ski station affording breathtaking panoramic views. The parcours finishes just prior to the second control point hotel at Inn Zormaris-M on the outskirts of Vranje.

    Looks pretty rocky, but without all the soft dust/powder that caused all the hike-a-bike at CP4. Looks like it'll do a number on some tyres. Spare tyre time?
