'Survial mode' lands Melisa Rollins sixth place at Sea Otter Gravel after breaking both wrists

Melisa Rollins rides to sixth place at a dusty 2025 Sea Otter Classic Gravel .

Just weeks after finishing second at RADL GRVL in Australia, Melisa Rollins (Liv Racing Collective) went from breaking both wrists at the Otway Odyssey mountain bike race to finishing sixth at the elite women's division at Sea Otter Classic Gravel in California. 

She took the fast track of seven weeks to put the physical recovery and "mental battle" behind her, and the reigning Leadville Trail 100 MTB winner will not slow down, but head to The Growler at Levi's Gran Fondo this Saturday with renewed confidence.
