Jack Spranger (Bear CX) claimed the men's under-23 title at the USA Cycling Cyclocross National Championships in Louisville in a heated two-man battle on the closing lap.
Spranger and Dylan Zakrajsek (FSA/Van Dessel) traded blows with Spranger taking the lead on the limestone steps before Zakrajsek took over across the barriers. Then, in a series of tight turns, Zakrajsek passed in one turn and Spranger returned the favour, taking a tight inside line to make the pass, forcing his rival into the course tape where he got tangled on a post.
