Following a successful first edition last season, the Maryland Cycling Classic is scheduled to return on September 3, 2023, with an even greater emphasis on bringing together both national and international cycling teams.
Headlined by returning WorldTour teams Trek-Segafredo and E.F. Education Easypost, as well as a strong selection of domestic teams, including Human Powered Health, Novo Nordisk, Legion of Los Angeles, and Hagens Berman Axeon.
Even teams from across the globe, including Canada's Toronto Hustle and Colombia's Team Medellin-EPM, are set to compete. Last year's debut edition of the race was a resounding triumph, receiving high praise from the CEO of USA Cycling, who hailed it as a "godsend" during a crucial moment for the sport.
"This race represents a reversal of the latest trend of disappearing U.S. road events, which I know is greeted with pleasure and hope by the overall community," said Robin Carpenter, who finished 13th last season.
Neilson Powless has been enjoying a successful season and will be hoping to carry his strong form into the upcoming race. Last year, he secured a spot on the podium with a bronze medal. Quinn Simmons, who won the King of the Mountains jersey, was not entirely content with his result and is determined to improve upon it this time around. "It's a great event for me, and I return with high motivation. I'm not satisfied with the result from last year, so hopefully, we'll be back in the fight for the top step of the podium this year," concluded Simmons.
