Sofia Gomez Villafañe has had an exceptional spring, notably winning several races including the Belgian Waffle Ride Arizona and the Cape Epic, where she and teammate Annika Langvad triumphed. She followed up with a successful stint in California, achieving podium finishes in multiple events while also balancing sponsor commitments. Despite her busy schedule, Villafañe is set to debut at The Traka in Girona, signaling her ambition to maintain top-tier performance in gravel racing as she continues to focus on US competitions.
She headed into the month as a two-time winner of the eight-day mountain bike stage race in South Africa - Villafañe and Langvad won seven of the eight stages at this year's Cape Epic.
At the beginning of the year, I wanted to put The Traka as like an 'A-level' race. But once we started to really adjust the schedule, I had to do Sea Otter for the Grand Prix.
Villafañe wanted to keep The Growler in the schedule the week before BWR California, 'not wanting to miss out on the money and the cool event that is Levi's Grand Fondo'.
Villafañe has won the six-race Grand Prix two years in a row, including her recent podium finishes in multiple spring events.
