Jack Spranger (Bear CX) claimed the boys’s under-23 title on the USA Biking Cyclocross Nationwide 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 earlier than Zakrajsek took over throughout the boundaries. Then, in a sequence of tight turns, Zakrajsek handed in a single flip and Spranger returned the favour, taking a decent inside line to make the go, forcing his rival into the course tape the place he acquired tangled on a put up.
