Marlies Mejias (Virginia's Blue Ridge TWENTY28/Deloitte) swept both days of elite women's races at the Amazon Armed Forces Cycling Classic presented by Events DC for the omnium title. With a victory on Saturday and second place on Sunday, Dario Rapps (DCC) secured the men's omnium at the longstanding pair of one-day races in Washington, D.C. and Arlington, Virginia.
Formerly the Crystal Cup, Saturday's rebranded Capitol Cup races, and an amateur Challenge Ride, were held on city streets between the National Mall and the US Capitol building. It was the first time pro racing took place in the popular Washington, D.C. area in 24 years.
