Last year Hannah Otto finished eighth here at Unbound Gravel, part of a nine-woman sprint for the title. The 29-year-old is ready for another big day this year – we caught up with her shortly after a recce ride (hence the mud!) and managed to get some shots of her bike. Otto’s Scott Addict Gravel RC features Shimano’s GRX Di2 shifters, rear derailleur and brakes. The brake rotors are Dura Ace – 160 mm on the front and 140 mm on the rear.
