SANTA VALL | GRAVELS OPENING WEEKEND?¿

Santa Vall, the race that gives us Girona locals the most stress every year. What once felt like a small, local gravel event has quickly grown into what many now see as the unofficial opening weekend of gravel season. Everyone shows up excited, slightly nervous, and quietly wondering where they really stand after the winter. This year, the weather added another layer to the story. Rain on Friday combined with strong winds turned an already technical course into something even more demanding. Sections that normally require precision suddenly became unpredictable, and the race quickly shifted into survival mode - choosing lines carefully, managing effort, and trying to stay calm while everything around you felt a little chaotic. Despite the conditions (or maybe because of them), I genuinely loved it. There’s something honest about racing in the mud. It strips things back to the basics - legs, skill, resilience, and a bit of humour when things don’t go perfectly. The Els hill after the mud section still killed me off though. P13 on stage one and P10 on day 2 fighting for 7th I wish I had more in-race footage to share, but honestly… it was too stressful to think about filming 😂 Sometimes you’re fully locked into the moment, just trying to ride the best race you can. This video is a short recap from the weekend — a glimpse into the mud, wind, and energy that makes La Santa Vall such a special race for those of us lucky enough to call Girona home.
