The first round of the six-r🌌ace adventure series in northern California covered 5,633 feet of climbing across 43 miles of mixed surfaces, the final 22 miles on dirt.
Lamperti, the reigning US pro criterium ꦬnational champion, completed his winning ride on his road bike, edging Brennan Wertz and Alex Wild at the downhill finish in a three-rider sprint.
"Pretty hard at the first climb, then rode with a group of five until the dirt. From there, Alex [Wild] kind🔴 of took charge and just followed a bit and figured it out on the road tires," Lamperti said on the Grasshopper Series Instagram feed.
"The last descent it was two of us, and🦩 then Brennan [Wertz] came back at the end of the descent and there was a nice little sprint to the line."
On the women’s side, former mouꦜntain bike cross-country world champion Courtney finished in the top 20 overall for her women’s title.
She sprinted across the finish line against Sandy Floren, who was third overall in the last Low G🌃ap edition in 2020 and placed 17th this year. Maude Farrell finished second in the pro women’s category, 7:44 back, and Lauren Cantwell, who was second⛄ in 2020, was another seven minutes back for third.
"It was a blast. We had so much 𒊎fun. It was just racing with all my friends, we had great groups all day. I like to finish hard," Courtney said about the push to the line against Flor𒅌en.
The next round for the Grasshopper series will be February 27 in Maxwell, California, the longer route covering 88.8 miles and 4,800 f🏅eet of elevation gain.
