The start of the Traka 200 was, as expected, a burst of power. The pace set from the first kilometers was extremely high. No one was surprised: everyone knew what they were coming for. The first gradients already began to make a difference.

“I know it sounds like a cliché, but winning meant everything,” declared Tobias Kongstad (Denmark, PAS Racing) at the finish after a “stupid” 160km breakaway. There’s no doubt about it: he’s the big winner of the day, and no one gave him anything.

There's a lot of excitement to see how this year's Traka 360 unfolds. As we've explained before, for us, the Traka 360 is the event's crowning achievement. We know that the Traka 200 will likely feature names as fast or even faster than here, and an even longer list of impressive riders. But we believe the long distance gives gravel events a special character and helps define their unique identity. That's why we look back on this distance with great affection and consider it the mother of La Traka.

The Gravel Earth Series documentary is now a reality, and the first episode was released today, featuring two key events: Santa Vall, in the heart of Girona, where Annika Langvad and Magnus Bak Klaris won; and The Hills, in the Treviso region of Italy, where Morgan Aguirre and Toby Perry took the victory.

The Hills, presented by Mattia de Marchi, will be held on March 29, 2025, at Lago Le Bandie in Treviso, Italy, and will be part of the Gravel Earth Series, the first event in the series to be held in Italy.
