Luke Fetzer and Cassidy Hickey claimed the under-23 national titles at the USA Cycling Pro Road National Championships held Thursday in Charleston. Hickey secured a solo victory in the women's criterium, finishing 37 seconds ahead of the pack, while Fetzer triumphed in a thrilling men's criterium that featured challenging rainy conditions. Both athletes credited their teams for their success, with Hickey celebrating her first individual national title and Fetzer delighting in the fairytale nature of his win, showcasing their determination and skill on the road.
We wanted to make the race hard, and we figured the best way to do it with our numbers was to get something off the front.
Didn't exactly expect to be solo from ten minutes in, but I had full support from the girls on the team, and honestly, I owe it to them.
That was insane, the rain started coming down - I love my rainy crits.
It was a fairytale ending and I couldn't be happier to walk away with another stars and bars.
