There can be no doubt of the prestige and rewards Sofia Gomez Villafañe (Specialized Off-road) and Cameron Jones Scott-Shimano) gathered by winning the 2025 Life Time Grand Prix series. While the battle for the top spots gets much of the attention, reshufflings in the top 10 were underway as the six-event series wrapped up at Big Sugar Gravel on Saturday.
A $200,000 prize purse was at stake – $20,000 for the winner, right down to $4,500 for 10th place – and a guaranteed entry for the top five riders in next year's invitation-only series, there wasn't just pride at stake. Out of the top 10? No series podium and no share in the big purse, so the seven-month investments were high.
