Wanaka duo Jeremy Presbury (left) and Michaela Rogan took home the men’s and women’s titles at the Crop Duster gravel bike race in Alexandra last weekend. The annual gravel bike racing series began with its first event — the Crop Duster — in Alexandra last weekend. The Crop Duster had some ‘‘really, really good fields’’ Cycling Otago race convener and gravel director Grant Campbell said. ‘‘[There was] a return of a lot of strong riders from last year but also probably 30% or 40% of the field were new to gravel races which was great. He was not the only Wānaka winner as Michaela Rogan took out the women’s race as well, finishing in 1hr 51min 02sec.
