Cecily Decker achieved a pivotal second-place finish at the 2025 Unbound Gravel 200, completing the grueling 200 miles in 10:12:29. Her performance not only showcased her skills but also marked a significant milestone following a challenging 2024 season. Despite dehydration from a mismanaged feed zone, Decker's grit saw her fend off challenging competitors, highlighting her determination and the strategic teamwork with her PAS Racing teammate, Karolina Migón. The race emphasized endurance and adaptability in extreme conditions, showcasing Decker’s potential to excel further in gravel cycling.
"I really wanted to win, but to go one-two with Karo is just insane," Decker said after the race.
"It was super delicate," she admitted, but a moment of generosity from Migoń, who shared her own water, helped Decker stay in the race.
"I'm just completely wrecked," said Decker. "I was out of water a long time and just so horribly dehydrated."
"I was just so, so wrecked by the end of it, trying to fend off a chase group of decorated competitors."
