World Tour rider Connor Swift had a crack at the UK's first-ever UCI gravel race, The Gralloch, which happened to tie in with his latest training block. After a go-ahead from Team Ineos Grenadiers to go off-road racing - something the team takes seriously with riders such as Tom Pidcock also recently partaking in some dirt action - Swift took his brand-new Pinarello Grevil to the bike shop to get ready for the race, and ended up winning the event with an impressive solo effort.

Alongside him were riders such as Nathan Haas, Alex Dowsett, Cameron Mason and Alistair Brownlee - which meant the Saturday race was not going to be a day to enjoy the Scottish scenery. In the women's race, the lineup was as impressive, and we saw Tiffany Cromwell smash the course to victory on herThe 113km course kicked off with a hefty 6km climb, followed by a descent. After the speedy start, Swift was at the front group of about 10 riders.
"The course was great, I probably committed to my effort a little bit too soon and I didn’t get to enjoy all of the scenery because I was going pretty deep, but the route was amazing that was a proper gravel race. We touched the roads just a couple of times, we had a mega day with the weather, a cracking race and I really enjoyed being here and pulling off the win just tops it off really.
