'Get the grit, still be friends and race together' - Lauren Stephens, Emma Langley and U23 rider Kylee Hanel form off-road partnership to pursue Life Time Grand Prix rewards

Three-time US gravel national champion Lauren Stephens finishes second at 2025 Big Sugar Classic.

Gravel, mountain bike and road races are all on the priority list for Lauren Stephens, and the Texas native has found a few fresh variations to energise her 14th professional season. She will captain her own multi-rider road team, Aegis by Leaders of Enchantment, and will have teammates for the first time at Life Time Grand Prix races.

After a year with Aegis Cycling Foundation as an off-road privateer and a composite group for road races, Stephens and her husband, Mat Stephens, formed a true road team for 2026, Aegis x LOE. They will debut the new kits this weekend at the two-day La Primavera in Lago Vista, Texas.
