Ridley Shines at Sea Otter Europe, celebrating Wins and Partnerships

Sea Otter Europe proved to be an outstanding weekend for Ridley and Ridley Racing Team! With victories by Daan Soete and Nicole Frain, the team delivered an impressive performance in Catalonia. Both wins highlighted the competitive strength of Ridley bikes, and visitors to our booth were eager to experience these winning machines up close.

Sea Otter Europe is a true classic in the gravel circuit, attracting top riders from around the world. Daan Soete faced strong competition, including French champion Dorian Godon, teammate Stan Dewulf, French star Romain Bardet, and gravel specialist Petr Vakoč. After more than 100 kilometers, the race came down to a duel between Soete and Godon. In a thrilling finale, Daan claimed victory for the team.

Nicole Frain in top form

After her win at Houffa Gravel and a second place at 66 Degrés Sud, Nicole arrived in Catalonia with confidence. She impressed on the hilly course and launched an attack with Esmée Peperkamp. Her relentless pace proved decisive: no one could follow. Closest chaser Emile Morier finished just under six minutes behind. With this victory, Nicole secured the overall title and capped off a successful season.
