Organisers are expecting snow and freezing temperatures ahead of the Old Man Winter Rally in Colorado, in the USA, on Sunday.

The line up for the event is impressive, with US road race champion Alex Howes (EF Pro Cycling) joined by Peter Stetina and Ian Boswell – with the latter set to make his gravel-racing debut as part of the Wahoo squad. Dirty Kanza winners Colin Strickland and Amity Rockwell are also on the start sheet, with around 1,200 participants expected to line up over two course distances.
