Lauren Stephens (Cynisca Cycling) takes multi-tasking to a new level, again. As the US gravel national champion, she made an early commitment to focus on the road this year to earn qualification for the Paris Olympic Games. While an automatic spot had not materialised, her results sheet continued to burst from road, and gravel, races.
A change of plans in late May allowed her to travel from Brazil to Kansas for Unbound Gravel last week, though not for the 200-mile race as one of the seven events on the to-do list as a Life Time Grand Prix competitor. She downsized to the women’s 100-mile event and it paid dividends with her third victory at that distance.
