Another weekend off for Formula 1, another grueling off-road cycling adventure for Valtteri Bottas.
After the Monaco GP, Bottas jetted off to the US to take part in last Saturday’s Unbound Gravel 100, a 174 km ultra-endurance cycling challenge held on the gravel roads through the remote Flint Hills region of east-central Kansas.

Bottas is on course to secure his spot in the UCI Gravel World Championships that will take place in Belgium next October.
