Two wins in his last two spring outings confirm Bradyn Lange (Canyon x DT Swiss All-Terrain Racing) is ready for prime time on gravel. With a sprint victory ahead of Keegan Swenson (Specialized Off-road) on Thursday at the Sea Otter Classic gravel race, he takes a spot at the top of the Life Time Grand Prix leaderboard.
It's been an authoritative start to the year for the 26-year-old mountain bike specialist, who wears the stars-and-stripes jersey as elite men's US gravel champion. He's one of the few veterans in the Grand Prix series, having been selected all five years and only finishing in the top 10 last year, tied for seventh. And it's been five years between wins in the series, his last as a 22-year-old at Chequamegon MTB. His progression took a steep educational step last year with the national title.
