Florian Vermeersch Wins on DURA-ACE

Some wins are written in the dust. When Florian Vermeersch crossed the line in Limburg to take the rainbow jersey, it came on the back of two successive silver medals. After a 120-kilometer breakaway, Florian built his lead out to win.

A GRX Festival

The Shimano Experience Center in Valkenburg hosted a celebration of everything gravel. Riders could test the all-new GRX 1x12 Di2 on local trails, with smooth and precise shifting—further proof that the line between adventure and innovation is actually the bond that deepens riders’ relationships with nature.

United in Gravel: Competition meets community

Competition and community went hand in hand during the United in Gravel Expo. With food, giveaways, bike customizations and, of course, baristas working around the clock supplying visitors with the ultimate component: damn good cups of coffee.

At the Shimano Hangout, gravel enthusiasts swapped stories with racers, ambassadors, and fans, all partying as equals. Our highlight was Saturday’s Women’s Social Ride, an inclusive and stress-free outing where the stopwatch was turned off and the smiles turned up to the max.
