Guidelines to regulate drafting, specifically related to the different categories of riders in elite women's races, are coming to the Life Time Grand Prix in 2025. In fact, event organisers will begin implementation of new rules next week at the season's opening event, Sea Otter Classic Gravel in California and then assess if modifications are needed for the remaining five events.
"We're going to see a no drafting rule for women. In fact, we're going to announce in the next couple of days," said Kimo Seymour,president of Life Time Events, which owns and operates the Grand Prix series and the collection of six mountain bike and gravel races.
