Stage 1 of the inaugural Nedbank Gravel Burn delivered pure grit, rain, and racing drama from Knysna to Avontuur. In the men’s race, hometown hero Matt Beers (Specialized Off-Road – Toyota) powered to victory in cold, wet conditions ahead of Andri Frischknecht and Hugo Drechou, while Axelle Dubau-Prevot out-sprinted Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio to take the women’s win after a thrilling battle over Prince Alfred’s Pass.
