Kiwi cyclist Cameron Jones secured victory in the prestigious off-road Unbound 200 Gravel race in Kansas over the weekend.

The 23-year-old completed the 320km United States race in 8 hours, 37 minutes and 9 seconds and the win secures him a wildcard spot for the rest of the gravel racing
season.

“I always go out and race like there’s nothing to lose,” said Jones. “It worked out this time.

“It’s a course that suits me. So much came together.”

Jones was in a close battle with Swiss rider Simon Pellaud. Both pulled away after 80km and never looked back.
