‘I had as good a chance as anyone’ – Cameron Jones wins Unbound Gravel after spending 150 miles in a breakaway with Simon Pellaud

Cameron Jones (Scott) has won the 2025 Unbound Gravel after a 150-mile breakaway with Simon Pellaud (Tudor Pro Cycling). The unlikely duo broke free after just 50 miles of racing and consequently spent the majority of the day working together as teammates. But as the gravel turned to pavement in the final miles of the race, Jones took control of the outcome, riding Pellaud off his wheel and powering to victory on his own.

“I knew I had as good a chance as anyone. Training’s been going good and it’s a course that suits me but so much in the race has got to come together. I had great legs today. It’s always fun to be leading a race,” the New Zealander said, adding that hearing the occasional time split gave the duo the ‘extra watts and morale’ needed to bring them home.
