Could a third time be the true charm for Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost) at the Maryland Cycling Classic? After all, the US rider has been on the podium in the previous two editions and Baltimore is labeled as 'Charm City'.

"I’m excited to go back. It looks like it might be a little bit less climbing than before it, so it could fall more towards the sprints this year, but they said that about the last course as well, and it ended up being very open," Powless told Cyclingnews from his home in Houston, Texas.
