2024 Gravel National Champions index
Who is your 2024 gravel champion? From the US to Britain and Australia to Canada find out the riders in the national stripes
As the momentum behind the UCI Gravel World Championships and UCI Gravel World Series continues to grow, so is the list of Gravel National Championships.
Some nations, such as Australia, have been crowning a champion for a number of years while others are newcomers to officially recognising the top gravel competitors from amongst their compatriots. Ireland and France are new additions this year but even the United States, with its rich gravel history, only just joined the fray in 2023, while that was also the year the European Championships was launched.
The distinctive national jerseys that we are so used to seeing in road, mountain-bike and cyclocross racing are becoming an ever more present sight in gravel, which is building beyond the more grassroots approach that has long been the hallmark of the discipline.
Cyclingnews has been keeping track of all these new championships and champions as they are announced. There is also plenty more gravel news available on our gravel home page, and also the UCI Gravel World Series, UCI Gravel World Championships and Unbound Gravel hubs.
