Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) and Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost), the top two riders from the 2023 Maryland Cycling Classic, will be back in Baltimore on September 6 for the event's third edition. Organisers confirmed preliminary rosters for the UCI Pro-level race on Tuesday and also disclosed the expected list of starters for the inaugural Maryland Cycling Classic Women, which will be held earlier the same day using the same course.
“With seven squads that were in this year’s Tour de France, coupled with some strong Pro Series and Continental teams, this year’s line-up is stacked with the most talent the event has seen to date,” said Bobby Julich, men’s competition manager who also had a long career as a pro rider.
