The Aegis x Leaders of Enchantment team continued to dominate the women’s 2026 Tour of the Gila, sweeping the podium Sunday on the daunting 65.9-mile (106km) Gila Monster stage 5 with 5,487 feet (1672m) of climbing. The American squad won four of the five stages in New Mexico.
Kylee Hanel rode to a solo stage victory, finishing 56 seconds clear of her teammates, Grace Arlandson and race leader Lauren Stephens. It was Stephens' third consecutive overall title, built on three stage wins and a start-to-finish grip on the leader’s jersey. Emily Gilbert (Virginia's Blue Ridge TWENTY28) was fourth, seven seconds later and one second ahead of Ashley Frye (Competitive Edge Racing).
