Bradyn Lange and Sofía Gómez Villafañe won the Sea Otter Classic Gravel races on Thursday in Monterey, California, opening the six-race Life Time Grand Prix series.

Sea Otter is one of the biggest cycling events in North America, a four-day festival that includes racing, rides, and an expo. The gravel races opened the event and were livestreamed for the first time this year, using the same course as 2025, featuring a number of dusty, rutted, and technical trails around the 30-mile lap.
