Belgian wins first Maryland Cycling Classic

Sep Vanmarcke outsprinted four competitors to capture Sunday’s inaugural race, which started in Sparks and wound its way to downtown Baltimore. Riders had glowing reviews of the staging of the competition, the first road race in the United States sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale since 2019. “I think they did super well, really well,” third-place finisher Neilson Powless said.
