Steamboat Springs, Colorado burst on the gravel scene in 2019 with the inaugural SBT GRVL where 1,500 riders took part across three race distances. It was a who’s-who of current and former pro cyclists lining up at the 140-mile (225 kilometre) course for $22,000 in cash, split equally by the men and women, and cowboy hats for the champions.

Another star-studded field seems ready to wrangle the Rockies in 2021. Ted King returns as the men’s defending champion on the long course, while the stage is wide open for a new women’s champion as Australia's Brodie Chapman will ride the Ladies Tour of Norway for her FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope road team.
