Maple and Morel take Victory at Michelob Ultra GFNY Maryland

The second edition of Michelob Ultra GFNY Maryland was held on a 92 mile dead flat course

Under foggy weather conditions, the race started off at a fast pace, with several attacks launched right from the beginning. Despite the attacks from different riders, no significant breakaway formed due to the flat racecourse and lack of winds that day. The peloton remained compact, and the constant surges kept the race intense from start to finish.

It was the “Talent X Britt NYC” team that took control, dictating the pace of the peloton and ensuring the race would culminate in a sprint finish. GFNY Florida Sebring 2023 runner up Edwin Morel (República Dominicana) took the win in 03:31:41, followed by Ismael Collado (Collado Team) and Steven Nino (Colombia) in an 80 rider peloton sprint finish.

Laura Maple (USA) won the female race in 03:32:51, 6 minutes ahead of Jillian Foley (USA). Michelle Pemberthy (Colombia) rounded out the podium.
