Series organisers, Life Time, expanded the number of participants from 10 in each division after strong showings in the two qualifying races.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Results from Life Time&#8217;s first two rounds of the Grand Prix, Sea Otter Classic Gravel (90 miles) and Unbound Gravel 100, served as the races within each race for rankings of riders between the ages of 18 and 22. They will next compete in the remaining Grand Prix schedule for overall rankings after Big Sugar Gravel, with the top pair earning roster spots in the 2027 elite LTGP lineup. Four of the six total races are required.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We originally planned to select 10 young women and men, but the depth of talent this year made it clear that we had an opportunity to expand. By expanding the roster and introducing race entry support, we are doubling down on our commitment to building a stronger development pipeline and creating more opportunities for the next generation of elite off-road cyclists,&#8221; said Michelle Duffy, director of the Life Time Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Race entry fees will be covered for the U23 riders through the remainder of the season by Life Time, which Duffy said helps eliminate barriers of access and cost for many riders who are students or work full-time.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">After two events so far this year, USA&#8217;s Kylee Hanel has won two races to lead the women&#8217;s standings, while Canadian Oskar Stack-Michasiw used a U23 second place at Unbound Gravel to move into the men&#8217;s lead.

Series organisers, Life Time, expanded the number of participants from 10 in each division after strong showings in the two qualifying races.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Results from Life Time&#8217;s first two rounds of the Grand Prix, Sea Otter Classic Gravel (90 miles) and Unbound Gravel 100, served as the races within each race for rankings of riders between the ages of 18 and 22. They will next compete in the remaining Grand Prix schedule for overall rankings after Big Sugar Gravel, with the top pair earning roster spots in the 2027 elite LTGP lineup. Four of the six total races are required.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We originally planned to select 10 young women and men, but the depth of talent this year made it clear that we had an opportunity to expand. By expanding the roster and introducing race entry support, we are doubling down on our commitment to building a stronger development pipeline and creating more opportunities for the next generation of elite off-road cyclists,&#8221; said Michelle Duffy, director of the Life Time Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Race entry fees will be covered for the U23 riders through the remainder of the season by Life Time, which Duffy said helps eliminate barriers of access and cost for many riders who are students or work full-time.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">After two events so far this year, USA&#8217;s Kylee Hanel has won two races to lead the women&#8217;s standings, while Canadian Oskar Stack-Michasiw used a U23 second place at Unbound Gravel to move into the men&#8217;s lead.

Series organisers, Life Time, expanded the number of participants from 10 in each division after strong showings in the two qualifying races.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Results from Life Time&#8217;s first two rounds of the Grand Prix, Sea Otter Classic Gravel (90 miles) and Unbound Gravel 100, served as the races within each race for rankings of riders between the ages of 18 and 22. They will next compete in the remaining Grand Prix schedule for overall rankings after Big Sugar Gravel, with the top pair earning roster spots in the 2027 elite LTGP lineup. Four of the six total races are required.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We originally planned to select 10 young women and men, but the depth of talent this year made it clear that we had an opportunity to expand. By expanding the roster and introducing race entry support, we are doubling down on our commitment to building a stronger development pipeline and creating more opportunities for the next generation of elite off-road cyclists,&#8221; said Michelle Duffy, director of the Life Time Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Race entry fees will be covered for the U23 riders through the remainder of the season by Life Time, which Duffy said helps eliminate barriers of access and cost for many riders who are students or work full-time.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">After two events so far this year, USA&#8217;s Kylee Hanel has won two races to lead the women&#8217;s standings, while Canadian Oskar Stack-Michasiw used a U23 second place at Unbound Gravel to move into the men&#8217;s lead.
