2024 was an incredible break-out season for Simen, proving time after time that he is among the world’s gravel elite. Besides a repeat victory at The Rift in Iceland, he also took the top spot at Garmin Gravel Worlds in the USA and secured the overall title of the year-long Gravel Earth Series, Simen is a powerful and tactful rider, never afraid to go on the offensive.“My goal for the season is to win at least one of the biggest gravel races, That means either Traka 360 or Unbound, as well as defend my title at The Rift in Iceland”.
Hailing from Hokksund, Norway, Simen will race for the first time as a full-time pro, representing both Fara Cycling and PAS Racing, a team that dominated the gravel racing scene in 2024.

“OBS” flies under the radar at many events, but quietly racked up top 10 placings at major races in 2024 like Traka 360, The Rift and Badlands in addition to his resounding victory at the Mother North ultra in Norway, all as a privateer. As he finishes his degree, Ole Bjørn will dedicate more time to gravel racing in 2025, playing on his climbing talent and endurance in the toughest races. He is without a doubt one to watch in 2025.“This year I want to get as high as possible in the standings in every race I participate in, especially The Traka and The Rift.”
Ole Bjørn is also the driving force behind what is to become Norway´s premier gravel race, Atlantic Gravel, near his home town of Molde in July.
