Swenson and Gomez Villafane win Fuego XL 100km titles at Sea Otter Classic


Sofia Gomez Villafañe and Keegan Swenson have claimed their respective victories in the Sea Otter Classic Fuego XL races, with Swenson defending his title at the Sea Otter from 2022 while Gomez Villafañe went one better than her second place of last year.

The womens’ race saw Gomez Villafane form part of a group of five before attacking on the final climb back to Laguna Seca for a solo win. Second was Alexis Skarda, with Vera Looser rounding out the podium.

“At some point I wanted to do an attack, and I felt that last pitch was probably my best chance to go,” Gomez Villafane said afterwards. “I dug in pretty deep today to get the win. I’m lucky [race] number 13 and it turns out it wasn’t so unlucky for me.”
