Owen led the opening moments of the race before being pulled back into a select group, and when van der Poel then attacked, Owen momentarily responded. The severity of the world champion’s move, however, was too much for the US champion, and rather than blow Owen chose to ride his own race, escaping from the remainder of the chase to cross the line alone, blowing a kiss to the crowd. Nathaniel Morse and Maxx Chance finished 26th and 27th, Stephen Bassett finished 30th, David Lombardo 33rd, Peter Goguen 36th, Ian McPherson 41st, Garret Gurchar 47th, Spencer Downing 49th, and Josey Weik and John Fransisco in 53rd and 54th.

“The race today really helped me take another step towards challenging Van Der Poel in Louisville,” Owen told Cyclocross Magazine. “I finally finished within a minute of him and I finally was able to beat Hermans. They both have been super strong this season but I am getting stronger and stronger heading towards Louisville. Hopefully I can challenge Van Der Poel in Rome and hold on to my second place overall in the World Cup standings.”

In the U23 race, Mike Teunissen came out on top in a duel with David van der Poel, with Wout van Aert taking third after bobbling out of contention for the top podium spot. Zach McDonald finished 16th, Andrew Dillman 28th, Josh Johnson 31st, Tobin Ortenblad 43rd, Manny Goguen 46th, Skyler Trujillo 51st, and Daniel Gerow 52nd.
