Day 2 from the Sea Otter Classic 2026 — live from Laguna Seca. We break down the Life Time Grand Prix fallout, including the tactical women’s finish and how line choice decided the race in the final corner. A 90-mile effort coming down to seconds. We also dig into: Race conditions shifting from tacky to loose and dusty Attrition rates and what they tell us about the field Rider performances and storylines from across the results Then we pivot to one of the biggest surprises of the weekend — a full e-bike demo experience that completely changed perspective. From first impressions to real trail feel, we unpack: Specialized’s new Levo platform Class 1 vs Class 3 capability Why the “e-bike grin” is real How tech, setup, and coaching changed the ride Plus: media center chaos, camping life, espresso setups, and the reality of covering an event this big in real time. Tap in. This is Sea Otter from the inside.
