Can Keegan Swenson retain his Life Time Grand Prix title at Big Sugar Gravel? The six-event Life Time Grand Prix series concludes on Saturday at Big Sugar Gravel in Arkansas, with last year's overall winners Sofía Gómez Villafañe and Keegan Swenson leading the leaderboard. However, Swenson's undisputed run is now under threat after a challenging performance at Little Sugar MTB last weekend. Swenson finished 10th, with Simon Pellaud and Torbjørn Andre Røed close behind, and just one point behind Cameron Jones, the Unbound Gravel 200 winner. With 30 points up for grabs at Big Sugar, Swenson's lead is at risk, especially with the top five events considered for the final tally. Swenson acknowledges the challenge, stating, 'Little Sugar didn’t go as I’d planned... I suffered from repeated punctures and a few riders very generously offered me their wheels.' The battle for second place in the women's category is intense, with US riders Cecily Decker and Melisa Rollins just two points apart. Rollins' third-place finish at Little Sugar, despite her singletrack racing skills being a work in progress, has boosted her confidence. Decker, who missed the event due to a back injury, is determined to make a strong comeback at Big Sugar. The series finale promises an exciting showdown, with the top spots and the title still undecided. Will Swenson secure his fourth series title, or will a rival emerge victorious at Big Sugar Gravel?
