Quite a shame it wasn't live. It's important that women's sports have coverage, especially in an event that is just getting started as an official UCI discipline. Hopefully next year we can see them battle it out live!

[@BruceChastain]

100%

[@curtisducati]

UCI mess up again the fools , stuck in 1950 like the rules for bikes , women and men should race together on gravel as there as good and as fast as the blokes !

[@inz_uzi]

​@@curtisducatiThat's ridiculous. Women are no match for men in cycling. That would be unfair for women. As for the coverage if there was high demand there would be coverage. It's a pity but that's how it is. Most women don't care about sport and don't watch it.

[@alaefarmestatesllc]

@@curtisducatilmao! Oh that was the the joke of the century! Almost ruined my phone with the amount of water that almost came out of my mouth when I read ur comment. I will say women should be forced to ride the same mileage. But not the same races where they are mixed in with men.

Stop complaining. Nobody cares about this nonsense

[@davidonformosa]

Great to see Kasia get the win. She is such a consistent racer.

[@raymonde4272]

Congratulations to Kasia, the sheer grit courage and talent to make a solo breakaway last for so long was impressive.

[@johnmccarthy115]

Well done UCI, we see you dropped another bollok on this one & blamed the organisers for not televising it. Who's initiative was this race 🙄🤦

[@Joeonline26]

[@andrasszabo1570]

Well deserved, Kasia! 😍

[@farcinue]

Great win for Niewadoma! She’s always so close, it’s good to see her finally win.

[@p5parker]

Congratulations, Kasia. You're amazing !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@realshaoran4514]

Grande Kasia, what a fantastic sight to see Kasia finally crossing the line first, so many near misses. Shame on you UCI that you refused to have live coverage for the women elite race.

⚖️ Props to the UCI for this parkour 💯 times better than last year, negative points for the lack of women’s coverage. 👑 Incredible ride from Katarzyna!

[@planetafuria7944]

Huge respects for these brave women, in especial for the ones who reached the podium. I would like to have watched both male and female transmissions (or VOD).

[@dopegirlsdope]

Shame on you to not broadcast this live. In times where women’s racing is still massively underpaid and far from equal, this is not acceptable!

[@realshaoran4514]

and often times even more entertaining than men's races thank to awesome fighters that always give it all like Kasia, Demi, Marlen and Liane to name a few. It's a shames that there are a couple of races where you only get the men's races and not the women's races (like Tres valli donne, where Liane Lippert won this year). What a shame indeed.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

​@@realshaoran4514not often, nearly always

[@eddiedettling9322]

underpaid? no one watches it, that's why

[@veganpotterthevegan]

@@eddiedettling9322 you're right. Nobody watched the live coverage of the women's race

[@realshaoran4514]

@@eddiedettling9322 I didn't know that my name is no one, thanks for telling me ;) all the people that you see on the streets during women races, must be only figments of my imagination, then. 😂

[@easternbrown]

Don't listen to the naysayers UCI. You are single-handedly saving gravel from obscurity, keep doing what you are doing. My only suggestion would be to have a look at the rules on sock length in this discipline - tighten that aspect up and I truly believe it would be perfect.

[@the_joe_reynolds_foundation]

Haha, your sarcasm may be a bit too heavy for mere mortals.

[@dilligaf2818]

Go Cassia,Yara and Demi ,Sylvia actually go y'all. Special should out to our Aussies especially Tiff...Top ten yeeew !!

[@JaemanEdwards]

Hey what about your anzac sister Fisher Black ?

[@maxzinsman9236]

Thnx for showing this!🤙🏽

[@mtndogdad]

Really want this sport to grow internationally, but it's hard to trust the UCI. This race should have been broadcasted. Great performance by Kasia, wish she got more media coverage. The course is 100% better than last year but still would like to see more unpaved roads. 3 of the next 4 worlds are in Europe - if we were going to have European races put the race in Spain -- the traka is the best gravel race in europe imo

[@Joeonline26]

Stop complaining. Nobody cares about this nonsense

[@newttella1043]

No shortage of gravel in the US...just saying. Plus lots of potential sponsors too.

[@JaemanEdwards]

This sport will never grow. It was all road cyclists having a bit of fun for fitness. To have specific paid gravel bike riders is ludicrous.

[@HouseOfShanks]

Should’ve had live coverage, very disappointing that there was none

[@Joeonline26]

Stop complaining. Nobody cares about this nonsense

[@lgsseven]

I may think UCI would be good to have this video on net. But I am not satisfied with such a short length. We wish to see more riders joining the champion race. On the other hand, nice to see the battle of Niewiadoma and Vollering. They are expected to keep the fighting in 2024 and in the futre.

[@Joeonline26]

Nice road race.

[@VeeVeeArcher]

Chapeau 🎉 Kasia ❤

[@sherab2078]

BRAWO KASIA! It's a shame the event hasn't received proper TV coverage. Even the men's race transmission was hardly accessible. I know this is a new discipline for UCI championships, but definitely deserves proper media coverage.

[@redjalapeno5714]

Check out the cluster on Kasia's bike. She could climb a wall.

[@saidimon]

Dude, I was thinking thhe same; but, look better at her front cog and you will see that it is quite big 0.0'

[@paradoksalnapl7105]

Gratulacione

[@samuelb7709]

Congratulations Kasie. You are the most beautiful cycling woman of the world ! I think (and i wish) you are able to win The Women Tour the France one day... Kisses

Who doesnt love Kasia❤

[@isaacrosenthal3290]

so highlights were possible but not a full broadcast?

[@andersonramalho3225]

Vamos

[@darlafitzpatrick8770]

I love that you misspelled "highlights" on the video thumbnail and then did it again on the men's video. Classy!

[@whothefoxcares]

UCI: please do a show about your camera drone operators!

[@ismaelmoura5649]

Those UCI gravel races should include technical single tracks. Too much tarmac.

[@emannpro11]

Kind of wish UCI Gravel Worlds had more gravel. Hear there is more than last year but still. Half these highlights are on pavement. Would be interesting to see these pros use more of their technical skills.

[@JuliaSobotka]

kasia ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@alaefarmestatesllc]

Good job uci. Show them if they can’t bring in money, it’s not worth wasting time on them

[@matthewbaynham6286]

It would be better if there was more coverage, I realise that women's cycling has previously got ignored when it comes to media coverage, but that should change and the UCI really didn't do their job with this race.

[@Simte]

Do more for athletes and this growing category. No coverage for women's race is just archaic. Do better!

[@Joeonline26]

Stop complaining. Nobody cares about this nonsense

[@86309]

still amazes me to see world class racers with aero everything, and flat dinner plate mounting of the number board.....I see a few figured it out......

[@teridzard1776]

Now we need motor cycles riding on formerly very quite and nice small roads through the landscape filming the same riders as in any other race? That is certainly what gravel riding is all about.

[@cup_and_cone]

Maybe next year the gravel world champs will actually be on gravel?

[@wonderwatch2239]

That would be a surprise 🤞🥺

[@cup_and_cone]

@@tadaias8540 WT riders should still be invited and encouraged to participate, but we shouldn't lower gravel standards just to attract WT riders (which seems to be happening).

[@adamcoppock5018]

The UCI should be embarrassed with themselves. Its a disgrace this wasn’t live. Get your act together.

Too much road, make Unbound the world champ race!

[@eterlizzi]

You guys misspelled “highlights” on both the women’s and men’s thumbnails. It’s the little things I guess!

[@jasongidney9660]

4:30min of Highlights! What a joke! Sort it out UCI

[@kovar2344]

those handlebars Kasia and many others ran look so ugly to me. But maybe others love it. Its personal taste.

[@Unpreeeedictable]

Gotta love European “gravel.”

[@blengravers]

Too bad the climbs were all on paved road/

[@ZachTheExcitedViper]

Do better UCI.

[@paulsolon6229]

On flats and on Downhills where the difference b t men and women sd not be that great and depends on bike handling, these women don’t handle their bikes even close to the men. Why? Women sd be able to handle a bike just as well as men, but their handling skills, at least here on gravel worlds, far inferior

[@gregknipe8772]

only uc I puts paved climbers in a GRAVEL RACE. people, there are real gravel races. UCE does not host them.

[@schattelux4827]

this isnt gravel

[@jesuswouldkilhimself]

Looks like it was a good race. Too bad it wasn't at the very least recorded.
