Andrew Strohmeyer (CXD Trek Bikes) rode solo across the line and celebrated the men’s C2 contest at Charm City Cross on Sunday in his home state of Maryland. Vincent Baestaens (Spits CX Team) out-sprinted US elite men’s champion Curtis White (Steve Tilford Foundation Racing) to complete the podium.

The reigning U23 US cyclocross champion scored his first win of the season on Sunday, after four top five finishes from the earlier US Cyclocross Series events. He moved up to third overall in the elite men’s series standings, 32 points behind overall leader Baestaens, and just four points in arrears of second-placed Loris Rouiller (Heizomat-Kloster Kitchen). White is fourth overall, 8 points behind Strohmeyer.
