'I thought there was no way it comes to a sprint' - Lange and Gómez Villafañe win Sea Otter Gravel

Sofía Gómez Villafañe.

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. For the first time in his career, Lange moves into the lead of the Life Time GP rankings, while Gómez Villafañe returns to a familiar position as a three-time winner of the 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.
