epa07936828 Eventual third placed rider Luke Roberts (R) is exhausted after the inaugural SouthxSoutheast gravel fondo bicycle race on the open dirt roads south of Johannesburg, South Africa, 20 October 2019. The race is one of the growing numbers of gravel bike races on the country. Popular in the USA the race form is now making inroads into the local cycling scene. South Africa has 450,000km of dirt roads and the popularity of the relatively new cycling discipline of gravel racing is ideally suited to the country.
