The 2026 UCI Gravel World Championships land in Nannup, Western Australia — the first edition held outside Europe. That single move splits the Life Time Grand Prix field: some riders will chase a rainbow jersey, others can't get on both podiums.
Little Sugar MTB, round five of the Life Time Grand Prix 2026, falls on October 11 in Bentonville — the exact day of the elite men's and 19-49 age group races in Nannup, with the women's elite race clashing a day earlier on October 10. Riders chasing Grand Prix selection can't be in Arkansas and Western Australia at once, and Life Time explicitly weighs Gravel Worlds results in that selection. A remote course built on the SEVEN Gravel Race is now deciding who gets to try for both titles and who has to pick one.
