Congratulations to Magnus Bak Klaris, who claimed the rainbow jersey at the UCI 2026 Gravel World Championships racing for Denmark aboard his Factor ELARA.
In its fifth year, the UCI 2026 Gravel World Championships moved outside Europe for the first time, taking place over the weekend in Nannup, Western Australia. The men’s course on Sunday consisted of 144 km and featured 3,713 meters of elevation gain. And for the first time, the vast majority of the race, around 85% of it, took place on unpaved or gravel roads. A real gravel race.
Magnus rode tactically astute with magical legs. Hard work, the ability to read the race, and the initiative to make the most of the opportunity.
“I feel like when you really sacrifice for something, you also put more work into it. And I am happy to have been able to do that today. And I think especially being able to share this experience with friends and my wife, who is here, makes it all the more special.”
– Magnus Bak, 2026 UCI Gravel World Champion
