2022 Athlete Stories

Meet Life Time Grand Prix℠ Athlete

Alexey Vermeulen

At 22 years old, Life Time Grand Prix rider Alexey Vermeulen was living the life he always thought he wanted — as a pro road cyclist on the UCI WorldTour. But he wasn’t living his dreams. He wasn’t making a positive impact in other people’s lives beyond bike racing like he wanted. So, he made a change. He hung up his road bike and chose a different path — an off-road journey that led him to the start line of the Stages Cycling Leadville Trail 100 MTB on August 13, 2022 — stop #4 of the Life Time Grand Prix presented by Mazda.

Sarah Sturm

After a departure from competitive racing, professional off-road cyclist Sarah Sturm rediscovered her love and joy of the bike again through time exploring the outdoors with friends, taking on new challenges and allowing the bike to take her to places she’d never otherwise see. While Sarah acknowledges that the journey is the destination, the process of learning, knowing and embodying the journey is the real catalyst to self-discovery. Stepping away from racing allowed her to find the enjoyment of the bike again, and slowly she was able to bring bike racing back into her life. Her calendar is now solely centered around mountain bike and gravel events, including that in the Life Time Grand Prix, which take her through places less discovered.

Payson McEvleen

Payson McEvleen fought back from a tough spring where he experienced a serious setback that kept him out of the kickoff of the Life Time Grand Prix. His redemption ride at UNBOUND Gravel was impressive to say the least, and a sign of good things to come in the second half of the season

Emily Joy Newsom

Emily Joy Newsom wears many hats – mom, musician, wife and professional cyclist. She picked up cycling a little later in life and dedicated herself fully to perfecting the craft. Much like her days working towards becoming a classically trained musician, dedicating 6-7 hours a day towards practice, Emily has carried that drive and will to perform into cycling. She’s rose to become one of the best cyclists in America.

In memoriam, Anna Moriah “Mo” Wilson
