Maghalie Rochette (Canyon Collective) cemented her lead in the US Cyclocross Series with the C2 victory at Charm City Cross on Sunday. It was a sweep of the first six races in the USCX for the Canadian, with two races remaining at Really Rad Festival of Cyclocross at the end of October.

It was a repeat from the C1 race on Saturday at Druid Hill Park in Baltimore, Maryland, as Rochette and Sidney McGill (Cervélo/OrangeLiving) rode tandem on the early laps. Rochette powered across the hard-packed course under hot, sunny skies for another solo victory. McGill finished 57 seconds back in second place.
